  1. 1. System for dose audit for external radiation therapy based on EPR dosimetry with Lithium Formate

    University essay from Fysikum

    Author : Zelga Malke; [2010]
    Keywords : Dose; audit;

    Abstract : Radiation therapy is an important method to treat cancer with the aim to deliver as high doses as reasonably achievable to the tumor while protecting the surrounding healthy tissue and organs at risk, OARs. Therefore, it is essential to have high accuracy in the dose delivered clinically and quality assurances are required. READ MORE

  3. 3. Evaluation of the lithium formate EPR dosimetry system for dose measurements around 192Ir brachytherapy sources

    University essay from Medicinsk strålningsfysik (tills m KI)

    Author : Laura Antonovic; [2008]
    Keywords : Lithium formate; EPR; 192Ir; Dose measurements;

    Abstract : The dose distribution around brachytherapy (BT) sources is characterized by steep dose gradients and an energy spectrum varying rapidly with depth in water around the source. These two properties make experimental verification of the dose distribution difficult, and put high demands on the dosimetry system in use regarding precision, size and energy dependence. READ MORE
