A review on radiochromic film dosimetry in radiation therapy. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Radiochromic films (RCFs) are ubiquitous in radiation oncology clinical and research settings to measure the radiation dose over a two‐dimensional (2D) area due to their high spatial resolution, water‐equivalency, and relative ease‐of‐use. Upon irradiation, the constituent monomers of the active layer of RCFs undergo polymerization, leading to

Quantifying stent-induced dose perturbations in intravascular brachytherapy using 3D- printed phantoms and film dosimetry. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide, is the narrowing of coronary arteries due to atherosclerotic plaque buildup. A common treatment for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often involving stent placement. However, a common complication or in‐stent restenosis (ISR) can occur in 10%–20% of

Initial follow-up of mechanical QC tests for RapidArc Dynamic (RAD). [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background RapidArc Dynamic (RAD) is a new solution for delivery of radiotherapy introduced by Varian. RAD blends Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Intensity‐Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) by pausing gantry rotation at predefined positions and adds a degree of freedom: a dynamic collimator.

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.

Three-dimensional high dose rate dosimetry of pulsed electron beams: The combined radiochromic film and calorimetric measurments [PDF]
Nuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2004 We present an evaluation of the precision and accuracy of image-based radiochromic film dosimetry. A stack of radiochromic film FWT-60 was used to map a radiation field produced by an electron pulse from a Febetron 707 accelerator (dose rate around 5 ...
