Background: EBT and EBT3 radioChromic films have been used in radiotherapy dosimetry for years.Objective: The aim of the current study is to compare EBT and EBT3 radioChromic films in dosimetry of radiotherapy fields for treatment of parotid cancer.Methods: Calibrations of EBT and EBT3 films were performed with identical setups using a 6 MV photon beam of a Siemens Primus linac. Skin dose was m...

in order to improve the performance of a newly developed radiochromic film, gic-79, somedosimetric characteristics of this film have been studied based on relevant standard practice. the presentstudy describes some parameters that may affect the dosimeter response before, during, and after irradiation. the effect of absorbed dose rate on dosimeter response was determined by irradiating dosimete...

Gafchromic films are increasingly being used for dosimetry in medical and industrial applications of ionizing radiation because of their favorable characteristics such as self developing in nature, easy to handle, dose rate independent response, insensitivity to normal room lights, high resolution and insensitivity to variation in the environment conditions. The dosimetry measurements using Gaf...

– gafchromic xrct radiochromic film is a self developing high sensitivity radiochromic filmproduct which can be used for assessment of delivered radiation doses which could match applications suchas computed tomography (ct) dosimetry. the dose response of gafchromic xrct radiochromic film hasbeen measured with reflectance spectrophotometry and desktop scanners. the film automatically changescol...

background: the monte carlo method is the most accurate method for simulation of radiation therapy equipment. the linear accelerators are currently the most widely used machines in radiation therapy centers. methods: in this work, a monte carlo modelling of the siemens oncor linear accelerator in 6 mv and 18 mv beams was performed. the results of simulation were validated by measurements in wat...

introduction: nowadays new radiochromic films have an essential role in radiotherapy dosimetry. properties such as high sensitivity, good reproducibility, high spatial resolution, easy readout and portability have made them attractive for dosimetry, especially in high-dose-gradient regions. material and methods: in this study, electron-beam dose distributions in homogenous and heterogeneous pha...

The purpose of this study was to compare dose measurements using ion chamber and radiochromic film dosimetry for a 35-keV synchrotron beam useful for Auger electron therapy. A 1.3-GeV electron beam, transported through a 3-pole superconducting wiggler magnet, produced a polychromatic photon beam from which a 35-keV beam (3.3 mm Al HVL) was selected using a monochromator. A 2.8 cm x 2.5 cm field...

INTRODUCTION In India, official and centralized personnel monitoring service using film badge was started in 1952 by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (1). With the indigenous development of a TLD badge system (2) based on CaSO4:Dy Teflon disc dosimeter (3) exhibiting evident superiorities over film badge, replacement of film based individual dosimeter by TLD was initiated in 1975. At prese...
