Purpose A joint IAEA/AAPM international working group has developed a Code of Practice
(CoP) for the dosimetry of small static fields used in external megavoltage photon beam …

Many new X-Ray treatment machines using small and/or non-standard radiation fields, eg,
Tomotherapy, Cyber-knife, and linear accelerators equipped with high-resolution multi-leaf …

Small‐field dosimetry used in advance treatment technologies poses challenges due to loss
of lateral charged particle equilibrium (LCPE), occlusion of the primary photon source, and …

Advances in radiation treatment with beamlet‐based intensity modulation, image‐guided
radiation therapy, and stereotactic radiosurgery (including specialized equipments like …

Purpose: The aim of the present study is to provide a comprehensive set of detector specific
correction factors for beam output measurements for small beams, for a wide range of real …

In this study we investigated the characteristics of a commercial ion chamber array and its
performance in the verification of radiotherapy plans. The device was the 2D Array …

The scope of this study was to estimate total scatter factors of the three smallest collimators
of the Cyberknife radiosurgery system (5–10 mm in diameter), combining experimental …

Accurate characterization of small‐field dosimetry requires measurements to be made with
precisely aligned specialized detectors and is thus time consuming and error prone. This …

Purpose: Absorbed dose beam quality conversion factors (factors) were obtained for 27
different types of ionization chamber. The aim was to obtain objective evidence on the …

In this paper we present the results of a dosimetric evaluation of a 2D ionization chamber
array with the objective of its implementation for quality assurance in clinical routine. The …
