Characterization of Plastic Scintillator Detector for In Vivo Dosimetry in Gynecologic Brachytherapy
Herreros A, Perez-Calatayud J, Ballester F, Abellana R, Neves J, Melo J, et al.
J Pers Med
. 2024 Mar;
14(3).
PMID: 38541063
(1) Background: High dose gradients and manual steps in brachytherapy treatment procedures can lead to dose errors which make the use of in vivo dosimetry (IVD) highly recommended for verifying...
