9783846510797: Gel Dosimetry for Radiotherapy: A Review and Initial Experience

Synopsis

Modern radiation delivery technique aims at precise delivery of radiation dose like Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, 3D Conformal Radiotherapy and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy are commonly using now a days. These techniques are based on increased complexity of radiation delivery methods and therefore necessitate verification of computer calculated dose distribution by an accurate dosimetric method. Gel dosimeters absorb dose in a tissue-equivalent manner and capable of recording dose distributions 3 dimensionally. An Optical CT (OCT) scanner plays a major role for Gel dosimeter readout and in clinical radiation therapy as a 3-Dimensional Radiation Dosimetry.
