Historical background, development, and construction of radiochromic films

Autor: Martin Butson, Azam Niroomand-Rad

The history of development of radiochromic materials dates back to the early nineteenth century before discovery of X-ray by Roentgen and prior to the use of conventional silver halide-based radiographic films for radiographic imaging and radiation d

Publikováno v: Medical Physics. 19:1445-1450

The depth- and field-size dependence of the in-phantom wedge factor have been determined for a Cobalt-60 (Co-60) teletherapy unit and four medical linear accelerators with 4-, 6-, 10-, and 18-MV x-ray beams containing 15{degree}--60{degree} (nominal)
