Abstract

Polymer gel dosimetry was used to verify the clinical use of IMAT. There was a satisfactory correlation between calculated and measured dose, thus validating the planning procedure, the calculation algorithm and the delivery. Although still elaborate and costly, polymer gel dosimetry has some unique features (3D absolute dosimetry) for verification of complex irradiation techniques.
