Technical Note: Out-of-field dose measurement at near surface with plastic scintillator detector. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2016 Out-of-field dose depends on multiple factors, making peripheral dosimetry complex. Only a few dosimeters have the required features for measuring peripheral dose.

Analytical model for out-of-field dose in photon craniospinal irradiation. [PDF]
Phys Med Biol, 2013 The prediction of late effects after radiotherapy in organs outside a treatment field requires accurate estimations of out-of-field dose. However, out-of-field dose is not calculated accurately by commercial treatment planning systems (TPSs). The purpose of this study was to develop and test an analytical model for out-of-field dose during craniospinal

Accuracy of out-of-field dose calculations by a commercial treatment planning system. [PDF]
Phys Med Biol, 2010 The dosimetric accuracy of treatment planning systems (TPSs) decreases for locations outside the treatment field borders. However, the true accuracy of specific TPSs for locations beyond the treatment field borders is not well documented. Our objective was to quantify the accuracy of out-of-field dose predicted by the commercially available Eclipse ...

Accuracy and sources of error of out-of field dose calculations by a commercial treatment planning system for intensity-modulated radiation therapy treatments. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2013 Although treatment planning systems are generally thought to have poor accuracy for out‐of‐field dose calculations, little work has been done to quantify this dose calculation inaccuracy for modern treatment techniques, such as intensity‐ modulated ...
