With the advent of complex and precise radiation therapy techniques, the use of relatively
small fields is needed. Using such field sizes can cause uncertainty in dosimetry; therefore …

This paper discusses the clinical applications of electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry
focusing on the ESR/alanine system. A review of few past studies in this area is presented …

Reference dosimetry in the presence of a strong magnetic field is challenging. Ionisation
chambers have shown to be strongly affected by magnetic fields. There is a need for robust …

Purpose Modern radiotherapy techniques often deliver small radiation fields. In this work, a
practical Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry protocol is adapted and …

In electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry, solid dosimeter materials such as
alanine (AL) or, more recently, lithium formate monohydrate (LFM) are typically used. These …

Background: The presence of heterogeneity within the radiation field increases the
challenges of small field dosimetry. In this study, the performance of MAGIC polymer gel was …

New treatments in radiotherapy have some difficulties, among them, the geometric and
dosimetric characterization of the radiation beam and the use of small radiation fields …

This chapter presents a literature review on the use of EPR dosimetry in clinical applications.
Due to the rather low sensitivity of the method, applications are predominantly within …

Abstract Treatment planning systems (TPS) give analytical results with very high dose
gradients. For this reason, it is necessary to have solid equivalent materials that replace the …

Radiation transport is an area of applied physics that is concerned with the propagation and
distribution of radiative particle species such as photons and electrons within a material …
