Čerenkov emission is generated from ionizing radiation in tissue above 264 keV energy.
This study presents the first examination of this optical emission as a surrogate for the …

Objective. Water-equivalent dosimeters are desirable for dosimetry in radiotherapy. The
present work investigates basic characteristics of novel aqueous detector materials and …

Objectives To investigate the dosimetric effect of air gaps under bolus on skin dose for left-
sided post-mastectomy radiotherapy with loco regional involvement. Methods Eight patients …

A radiotherapy bolus is a tissue-equivalent material placed on the skin to adjust the surface
dose of megavoltage X-ray beams used for treatment. In this study, the dosimetric properties …

Stereotactic radiosurgery treatments involve the delivery of very high doses for a small
number of fractions. To date, there is limited data in terms of the skin dose for the very small …

Purpose Online verification and 3D dose reconstruction on daily patient anatomy have the
potential to improve treatment delivery, accuracy and safety. One possible implementation is …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to exploit the feasibility of thermoluminescent dosimeters
(TLDs) in radiation therapy techniques in which high dose per fraction is involved. Methods …

Dose distribution, especially the Bragg peaks or percentage depth doses (PDDs) in a small
proton field, are strongly influenced by the field size. Simulation is problematic because of …

Abstract The Monte Carlo model for the photon-beam output from the Varian Clinac 2100
linear accelerator was validated to compare the calculated to measured PDD and beam …

Purpose: To characterize the performance of a novel radiation therapy monitoring technique
that utilizes a flexible scintillating film, common optical detectors, and image processing …
