Breast in vivo dosimetry by EPID
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2010 An electronic portal imaging device (EPID) is an effective detector for in vivo transit dosimetry. In fact, it supplies two‐dimensional information, does not require special efforts to be used during patient treatment, and can supply data in real time.
