Description
The aim of radiotherapy treatment is to deliver radiation dose to various malignant or non-malignant targets efficiently, accurately and safely. As the number of radiation incidences reported due to human errors, separate patient dose verification (in-vivo) is required during the actual treatment delivery in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT). In this paper, we will be discussing how we established in-vivo dosimetry (using p-type silicon diodes) technique by measuring various correction factors
