description

  • Accurate dosimetry of small fields remains a challenge to the clinical physicist. Choosing the appropriate detector and determination of kQclin,Qmsr (fclin,fmsr) factors continue to be an area of active research. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the output factors for a dedicated stereotactic accelerator using multiple dosimeters designed for use in small fields and evaluate published kQclin,Qmsr (fclin,fmsr) factors relative to measured values using a commercial scintillating fiber.
