The Difference

Purpose: Compare percent depth dose (PDD) and off-center ratio (OCR) measured by the CC13 ionization chamber and the RAZOR silicon diode in small photon beams. Method and Materials: Some dosimetric characteristics, such as PDD, OCR, penumbra and radiation field size, were considered in this study for 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 cm2 field sizes. We used the CC13 ionization chamber and the RAZOR silicon diode to measure dose distribution with depth along the axis and off-center of the beam. From the results obtained, the team investigated the differences in radiation parameters measured by the two types of probes above. Results: There are significant differences in the radiation parameters investigated for the CC13 ionization chamber and the RAZOR silicon diode, especially the width of penumbra. For PDD curves, the difference is less than 5% from dmax to 30 cm, however the difference becomes greater in the build-up region, which reaches to 33% at the water phatom surface. The width of penumbra measured by CC13 is always larger than that of RAZOR, the ratio of the penumbra width between two detectors is 1.8 and 1.3 for energies of 6 MV and 15 MV, respectively. Conclusion: The RAZOR silicon diode has better dose response than the CC13 ionization chamber for measuring the PDD and the OCR in small photon beams.

Radiotherapy Dosimetry

In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic dosimeter using an organic scintillator and a plastic optical fiber for measuring percentage depth doses with radiotherapeutic high energy photon beams. The scintillating light generated in an organic dosimeter probe embedded in a solid water phantom is guided by a plastic optical fiber to the light-measuring device. Using this fiber-optic dosimeter, percentage depth doses are measured with 6 and 15 MV energies of photon beams whose field sizes are 2 x 2 and 10 x 10 cm2, and the results are compared with those measured using conventional dosimeters such as an ionization chamber and EBT films used in radiotherapy dosimetry.
