Polimer Gafchromic EBT3 Films in Clinical Dosimetry

Abstract:

The results of the calibration of the Gafchromic EBT3 polymer film for photon and electron beams with different energies are presented. The results of these studies show that the use of film dosimetry for electron and photon beams in the dose range 0.2 - 40 Gy is possible. The resulting calibration curves are the same for electrons with different energies (2 MeV, 10 MeV), but there exists a difference for photons with the energy of 10 MV and 70 kV.
