Calibration of a portal imaging device for high-precision dosimetry: a Monte Carlo study [PDF]

, 1998
Today electronic portal imaging devices (EPID's) are used primarily to verify patient positioning. They have, however, also the potential as 2D-dosimeters and could be used as such for transit dosimetry or dose reconstruction.

Evaluation of an Electronic Portal Imaging Device for Transit Dosimetry [PDF]

Acta Oncologica, 1999
The possibility of using a commercially available electronic portal imaging device for transit dosimetry was investigated. The detection unit of the device comprises a metal plate/fluorescence screen and a camera. Basic parameters of this system were investigated: stability, detector uniformity, dose-response curve, field-size dependence and phantom ...
