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.
