Conclusion A 2-beams approach could lower ocular radiation-induced toxicities, especially for critical posteriorly-located uveal melanomas. The two beams could be applied on the same day or alternative days.

Lack of harmonization in dosimetric methods and challenges implementing dosimetric protocols designed for clinical orthovoltage radiotherapy devices, undermines reproducibility of the results [2]. Image guided preclinical irradiation platforms (IGPIP) deliver small fields in the medium energy x-ray range. Commissioning of devices, followed by dosimetry verification of treatment planning system (TPS), is performed with gafchromic films, involving separate calibration and post-processing. This study characterized a small volume ionization chamber (IC), traceable to a primary standard, in medium energy x-rays for its use for reference dosimetry in small fields delivered by IGPIPs Materials and Methods
