reference dosimetry
: absolute dose measurement in water
in reference conditions, mainly calibration of MU-chambers
- measurement of input for TPS (PDDs, profiles, ..)
- verification of dose calculation algorithms (in phantoms)
- verification of complex/new treatment techniques by
measurements in anthropomorphic phantoms
- pre-treatment dosimetric verification of IMRT/VMAT
(e.g. with EPID, delta 4, ArcCHECK)
- in-vivo dosimetry
