From silver halide to radiochromic films
•No water equivalence
•Energy dependence
•High spatial resolution
•Saturation high doses
•Sensitive to visible light
•Needs developing
•Time consuming
Silver halide films
Radiochromic films
•Water equivalence
•No (little) energy dependence
•High spatial resolution
•Saturation high doses
•Insensitive to visible light
•No need of processing-
“Real time” development,
stability reached in ~ 2 h
•Can be evaluated with flatbed scanner
(transmission mode-fluorescent light source
and a linear CCD array detector)
