Radiation therapy: Method for the 3D characterization of active volumes of new therapy dosimeters using PTB’s microbeam has been established
31.03.2020
The method was established at PTB’s microbeam facility using 10 MeV protons. Three of PTW’s detectors were studied: the new microSilicon detector, the micro- Diamond detector, and the Diode E detector. e detailed measurements provided eective geometric data which serve as the basis for Monte Carlo simulations. Using this type of simulations, among other things, correction factors can be determined which must be taken into account for the dosimetry in small irradiation volumes.
