The use of radiochromic film (RCF) dosimetry in radiation therapy is extensive due to its high
level of achievable accuracy for a wide range of dose values and its suitability under a …

Purpose The need for dosimetric accuracy in external beam radiotherapy is well established
[1, 2]. A standard requirement of the combined uncertainties in absorbed dose delivery is …

It is essential that quality control (QC) techniques are developed to keep pace with modern
high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Current QC methods may be insufficient to fully assure …

Abstract Cobalt-60 (Co-60) is a relatively new source for the application of high-dose rate
(HDR) brachytherapy. Radiation dose to the rectum is often a limiting factor in achieving the …

The influence of deviations in dwell times and source positions for 192Ir HDR-RALS was
investigated. The potential dose errors for various kinds of brachytherapy procedures were …

Several different applicators have been designed for treatment of skin cancers, such as
scalp, hand, and legs using Ir‐192 HDR brachytherapy sources (IR‐HDRS), miniature …

Background: A semiconductor rectal probe was used to compare planned and measured
rectal doses during Co-60 high dose rate (HDR) CT-based intracavitary brachytherapy …

Purpose In vivo dosimetry is a quality assurance tool that provides post-treatment
measurement of the absorbed dose as delivered to the patient. This dosimetry compares the …

Purpose: Well-known defect of TG-43 based algorithms used in brachytherapy is a lack of
information about interaction cross-sections, which are determined not only by electron …

Relative absorbed dose energy response correction, R, for various radiochromic films in
water phantom is calculated by the use of the Monte Carlo‐based EGSnrc code system for …
