Purpose : To relate the physical transmittance parameters of the water equivalent Gafchromic EBT 2 Film with the delivered dose in a transparent absolute calibration protocol. The protocol should be easy to understand, easy to perform, and should be able to predict the residual dose error.
Conclussions : The gafchromic EBT2 Films are properly calibrated with an accessible robust calibration protocol. The protocol largely deals with the uniformity problems of the Film. The proposed method allowed to relate the dose with the red channel transmittance using only T0, T_inf, and a dose scaling factor. Based on the local and global uniformity the red channel dose errors could be predicted to be smaller than 5%.
Surface and buildup region dose measurements with Markus parallel-plate ionization chamber, Gafchromic EBT3 film and MOSFET detector for high energy photon beams
本研究的目的是调查表面和建立区域剂量为6 MV和15 MV光子束使用马库斯平行板电离室,GafChromic EBT 3膜,和MOSFET探测器不同的字段大小和光束角度。在水等效固体体模中,在表面和6 MV和15 MV光子束的积聚区域中,在100 cm的源-探测器距离处,针对5 x 5、10 x 10和20 x 20 cm 2的射野尺寸和0、30、60和80光束角度进行测量。对于Markus室、EBT 3膜和MOSFET探测器,发现使用6 MV光子束对于10 × 10 cm 2场尺寸的表面剂量分别为20.3%、18.8%和25.5%。对于Markus室、EBT 3膜和MOSFET探测器,使用15 MV光子束对于10 × 10 cm 2场尺寸的表面剂量分别为14.9%、13.4%和16.4%。所有剂量计的表面剂量随射野大小而增加。随着入射辐射束的角度变得更加倾斜,表面剂量增加。剂量计的有效测量深度各不相同;因此,测量结果可能不同。该问题可能导致表面和累积剂量测定错误,必须予以考虑。
