Accurate dose measurement in the buildup region is extremely difficult. Studies have
reported that treatment planning systems (TPS) cannot calculate surface dose accurately …

The reliability of thermoluminescent dosimeters (ultrathin TLD) and ISP Gafchromic EBT2
film to measure the surface dose in phantom and the skin dose in head-and-neck patients …

The accuracy of Eclipse TM-calculated head and neck VMAT plan dose delivery was
assessed in the situation when there is a gap between placed bolus on a head and neck …

OBJECTIVE Surface dose measurement is challenging, and algorithms of treatment
planning systems (TPS) cannot accurately calculate the surface dose. The aim of this study …

Accurate estimation of the surface dose in radiotherapy of patients with head and neck
cancer is very important in terms of treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surface …

Abstract Purpose Treatment planning systems (TPSs) still face challenges in determining the
peripheral and surface doses specially when using thermoplastic mask and bolus. This …

Background: The intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) enables personalized treatment;
the complexity of this technique increased the need for patient-specific quality assurance …

Despite much development, there remains dosimetric uncertainty in the surface and build‐
up regions in intensity‐modulated radiation therapy treatment plans for head and neck …

Background: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced method for
delivery of three dimensional therapies, which provides optimal dose distribution with giving …

IMRT dose planned for head and neck radiotherapy was verified using a customised acrylic
head-and-neck phantom. The dosimeters used were calibrated Gafchromic EBT2 film and …
