Dosimetric Verification in Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Japanese Journal of Radiological Technology, 2002 As part of dosimetric verification for IMRT intensity modulated radiation therapy, we examined the selection of a dosimeter in accordance with the purpose of physical measurement and the process of data analysis. Because of the high dose conformation in the target volume and minimum dose in the organs at risk (OAR) in IMRT, dosimetric verification is ...
