Description
The several solid water phantoms have been developed as being enough to natural water that they can be used for radiation dosimetry purpose. We evaluate the water equivalency of water equivalent solid phantom materials in terms of the depth dose measurement. Acrylic solid water equivalent phantoms are used extensively for the dosimetry of photon and electron beam. There are situations where a solid slab phantom is required. Many radiation detectors are not waterproof in which case a solid slab phantom must be used. Solid slab phantoms are also more useful for routine measurements since they tend to be more robust and easier, convenient to setup for any radiation measurement than water phantoms
