Advances in kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry by monte carlo calculations and multiple detector intercomparison

Introduction: KV x-ray beams are used in radiotherapy for skin cancer, keloids and IORT. High dose gradients, detector volume and energy response, and also the use of small fields, makes choosing appropriate detectors critical.
