Description

A mailed audit system for dose verification using lithium formate electron paramagnetic resonance dosimetry was designed and evaluated. For this purpose, a semi-anthropomorphic phantom was manufactured, inserted with pellet shaped lithium formate dosimeters and treated with an intensity modulated radiotherapy plan. The measurement results agreed with the planned doses within the estimated standard uncertainties. (author)
