Analisys of in vivo dosimetry using semiconductor detectors in a Co-60 radiotherapy beam
open access
Abstract
Results of in vivo dosimetry carried out on the Alcyon Co-60 radiotherapeutical beam using the SCANDITRONIX DPD-3 system with EDE-5-type semiconductor defectors, will be presented.
Differences Between planned and measured entrance dose for open fields and for fields formed using wedge compensation filters were studied over a period of 15 months, for patients positioned to receive their first fraction. Of the different sites studied, most were head&neck and breast localizations.
