- In Vivo Dosimetry in Brachytherapy [PDF]
, 2012 As discussed in the following sections, in vivo dosimetry has been utilized for dierent purposes during the radiation therapy of cancer patients. Initially, this technique was used to verify dose to the organs adjacent to the implanted volume. However, verications of the accuracy of the treatment delivery for complex treatment techniques have been ...

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.
