Radiochromic Film: Role and Applications in Radiation Dosimetry

He is also recipient of numerous accolades including the AAPM’s Farrington Daniels Award (1988) and the AMPI’s Dr. . He has published over 400 abstracts, 21 books/chapters and over 200 peer reviewed scientific papers. He earned his MS in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and PhD from the Univer

The final chapters discuss the state of the art in microbeam, synchrotron radiation, and ultraviolet radiation dosimetry.. The expert authors address basic concepts, advantages, and the main applications including kilovoltage, brachytherapy, megavoltage, electron beam, proton beam, skin dose, in vivo dosimetry, postal and clinical trial dosimetry. This book provides a first authoritative text on radiochromic film, covering the basic principles, technology advances, practical methods, and applications. It focuses on practical uses of radiochromic film in radiation dosimetry for diagnostic x-rays, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, external beam therapies (photon, electron, protons), stereotactic body radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and other emerging radiation technologies
