GEL DOSIMETRY SYSTEMS
Gel dosimetry systems are true 3-D dosimeters.
The gel dosimeter is a
phantom
that can measure absorbed dose
distribution in a full 3-D geometry. HIGH RESOLUTION
Short time in the treatment room.
Gels are nearly tissue equivalent and can be molded to any desired shape
or form.
Large amount of information in patient geometry!
Can be deformed (simulate organ deformation during irradiation)
Excellent for new treatment implementation but still too labor intensive to
be used in routine
