Advances in radiotherapy technology during the last 25 years have significantly improved
both dose conformation to tumors and the preservation of healthy tissues, achieving almost …

Radiotherapy has rapidly improved because of the use of new equipment and techniques.
Hence, the appeal for a feasible and accurate three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry system has …

Introduction The accuracy of dose delivered to tumors and surrounding normal tissues is
vital in either radiotherapy using low energy photons and radiological techniques as well as …

Brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for several cancer localizations,
minimizing the possibility of unacceptable risks for healthy tissues and providing a more cost …

Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy and especially in IMRT
and SRS/SRT treatments. The uncertainties related to small field profile measurements can …

The water equivalence and stable relative energy response of polymer gel dosimeters are
usually taken for granted in the relatively high x-ray energy range of external beam …

Dose distributions registered in water equivalent, polymer gel dosimeters were used to
measure the output factors and off‐axis profiles of the radiosurgical photon beams employed …

The photon induced radical-initiated polymerization in polymer gels can be used for high-
resolution tissue equivalent dosimeters in quality control of radiation therapy. The dose (D) …

Despite many advantages of polymer gel dosimeters, their clinical use is only not realized
now. Toxicity of polymer gel dosimeters can be considered as one of their main limitations …

Rapid technological advances in high-dose-rate brachytherapy have led to a requirement
for greater accuracy in treatment planning system calculations and in the verification of dose …
