Abstract
- Film dosimetry has been applied to measure relative dose distributions in an anthropomorphic polystyrene breast phantom having cork lungs, simulating a radiation therapy treatment with 6 MV opposing tangential beams. Measured relative dose distributions showed good reproducibility (about 1.5%, 1 SD) and good agreement (< 2%) with calculations performed with a three-dimensional treatment planning system. These results demonstrate that film dosimetry is a useful tool for treatment planning verification.
