Skin Dosimetry with EBT3 Radiochromic Film in Radiotherapy of Parotid Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2021 Background: Skin is a sensitive organ and should be spared in radiotherapy and irradiation of skin in radiotherapy can cause to acute and late skin effects such as erythema, desquamation, epilation, color change, or even necrosis.

Linear energy transfer-independent calibration of radiochromic film for carbon-ion beams [PDF]
Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2022 For carbon-ion beams, radiochromic film response depends on the dose and linear energy transfer (LET). For film dosimetry, we developed an LET-independent simple calibration method for a radiochromic film for specific therapeutic carbon-ion beams.

Reference dosimetry using radiochromic film [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med Phys, 2012 The objectives of this study are to identify and quantify factors that influence radiochromic film dose response and to determine whether such films are suitable for reference dosimetry. The influence of several parameters that may introduce systematic dose errors when performing reference dose measurements were investigated.

Physical wedge as a tool for radiochromic film calibration [PDF]
Zeitschrift für Medizinische PhysikReliable calibration is one of the major challenges in using radiochromic films (RCF) for radiation dosimetry. In this study the feasibility of using dose gradients produced by a physical wedge (PW) for RCF calibration was investigated.
