A novel dosimetric protocol for high energy photon radiotherapy beams in Norway : thesis for the degree Master of Science, Institute of Physics, University in Oslo

Abstract

Abstract: In 2008, a master's thesis project was carried out at the NRPA, concentrating on the implementation and use of radiochromic film for dosimetric purposes in photon radiotherapy. A method for the use of radiochromic film in a clinical setting was developed and tested at 7 of Norway's 10 radiotherapy hospitals. This report contains the finished thesis in its entirety.

Resymé: I 2008 ble det gjennomført et prosjekt i form av en masteroppgave ved Statens Strålevern, som omhandlet bruk av radiokromisk film til dosimetriformål innen stråleterapi. En metode for bruk av radiokromisk film i klinisk sammenheng ble utviklet og uttestet ved 7 av landets 10 stråleterapisentra. Rapporten inneholder den ferdige masteroppgaven i sin helhet.
