In-vivo dosimetry with EBT-3 gafchromic films and thermoluminescent dosimeters in breast cancer radiotherapy treatments

ConclusionThe level of accuracy between prescribed and measured doses is seen generally as acceptable in the study. EBT-3 film was found most accurate detector that we recommend for use in IVD. The study also shows that errors are reduced by applying various correction factors (field size, SSD, angle dependence, wedge, tray) while determining the patient received dose (depth dose). This study served as part of patient quality assurance at the radiotherapy centre as recommended by national regulatory bodies and international requirements.
