Empirical quenching correction in radiochromic silicone-based three-dimensional dosimetry of spot-scanning proton therapy
Background and purpose: Three-dimensional dosimetry of proton therapy (PT) with chemical dosimeters is challenged by signal quenching, which is a lower dose-response in regions with high ionization density due to high linear-energy-transfer (LET) and dose-rate. This study aimed to assess the viabili...
