Gel dosimetry was developed in the 1990s in response to a growing need for methods to
validate the radiation dose distribution delivered to cancer patients receiving high-precision …

Polymer gel dosimeters are fabricated from radiation sensitive chemicals which, upon
irradiation, polymerize as a function of the absorbed radiation dose. These gel dosimeters …

The γ tool was developed to quantitatively compare dose distributions, either measured or
calculated. Before computing γ, the dose and distance scales of the two distributions …

Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) represents one of the most significant
technical advances in radiation therapy since the advent of the medical linear accelerator. It …

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) poses a number of challenges for properly
measuring commissioning data and quality assurance (QA) radiation dose distributions. This …

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to explore the usefulness of the gamma passing rate
metric for per‐patient, pretreatment dose QA and to validate a novel patient‐dose/DVH …

Clinical conformal radiotherapy is the holy grail of radiation treatment and is now becoming
a reality through the combined efforts of physical scientists and engineers, who have …

Purpose: The aim of this work is to investigate the predictive power of a common
conventional intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality assurance (QA) …

The increased intricacy of Intensity‐Modulated‐Radiation‐Therapy (IMRT) delivery has
created the need for a high‐resolution 3D‐dosimetry (three‐dimensional) system capable of …

We introduce a logical process of three distinct phases to begin the evaluation of a new 3D
dosimetry array. The array under investigation is a hollow cylinder phantom with diode …
