Dose Delivery Investigation in Total Body Irradiation with Tomotherapy using Exit Detector Data

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

We developed a method for monitoring the treatment process using TomoTherapy exit detectors during the procedure of total body irradiation. The main purpose was to investigate the correlations between the fluence registered by the detectors and the dose in the target corresponding of different body areas. The data obtained make it possible to assess changes in the patient dose by the analyzing data from detectors.
