This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

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: To compare and evaluate the dosimetric water equivalence of several commonly
used solid phantoms for low energy photon beams. Methods: A total of ten different solid …

Objective To determine whether the use of a metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm
improves the detection of peri-implant fenestrations and dehiscences on cone beam …

Purpose: PRESAGE® is a dosimeter made of polyurethane, which is suitable for 3D
dosimetry in modern radiation treatment techniques. Since an ideal dosimeter is …

The present study quantified surface doses on several rectangular phantom setups and on
curved surface phantoms for a 6 MV photon field using the Attix parallel‐plate chamber and …

Backscatter factors, B, and mass energy–absorption coefficient ratios,(μ en/ρ) w, air, for the
determination of the surface dose in diagnostic radiology were calculated using Monte Carlo …

Lack of underlying material can lead to dose reduction in kilovoltage radiotherapy
treatments because of backscatter reduction. Conversely, the use of lead shielding can lead …

The genipin radiochromic gel offers enormous potential as a three-dimensional dosimeter in
advanced radiotherapy techniques. We have used several methods (including Monte Carlo …

The orthovoltage x-ray energy frequently used in radiation research is prone to dosimetry
errors due to insufficient backscatter conditions. In many radiobiology studies, especially for …
