Summary: | Radiation film dosimetry process using the RIT 113 v.4 dosimetry software and the
film digitizer VXR-l2plus was used to evaluate the accuracy of electron dose
calculations of the RAHD radiation therapy treatment planning system at Samaritan
Regional Cancer Center. Kodak Ready-Pack EDR-2 film is recommended for
dose distribution analysis in clinically practical dose ranges. The pencil-beam
algorithm has a limitation for calculating dose in the penumbra region and in the
tail region where the dose falls off. === Graduation date: 2005 |
