Technical note: Visual, rapid, scintillation point dosimetry for in vivo MV photon beam radiotherapy treatments

CONCLUSIONS: Plastic scintillator discs have characteristics that are well-suited for in vivo optical dosimetry for x-ray radiotherapy treatments. Unlike typical point dosimeters, there is no inherent readout time delay, and an optical recording of the measurement is saved after treatment for future reference. While several factors influence the integral output for the same dose, they have been quantified here and may be corrected in post-processing.PMID:38598093 | DOI:10.1002/mp.17071
