- for no alternative:
reading= k·dose,
with fixed k in all situations
(non-linearity, energy-dependence, dose-rate dependence, …)
- deviations from ideal not always known or easily predictable
- nevertheless, these detectors are applied a lot and they are
indispensable in RT
Also alternatives have
limitations
:
- often combination of several detector types: check for consistency,
gather complimentary data.
