Evaluation of off-axis wedge correction factor using diode dosimeters for estimation of delivered dose in external radiotherapy

An in vivo dosimetry system, using p-type diode dosimeters, was characterized for clinical applications of treatment machines ranging in megavoltage energies. This paper investigates two different models of diodes for externally wedged beams and explains a new algorithm for the calculation of the ta...
