Quality control of the prostate tumor dosimetry performed by real-time dosimetry system COMPASS transmission chamber

The most commonly used methodology for the verification of IMRT planning using radiochromic films and specific measures in a homogeneous phantom which move the control points of treatment. This system has the drawback of using a homogeneous model ignores the effect of the heterogeneities and the peculiarities of the patient's anatomy. This coupled with the fact obtain an evaluation in real time of each treatment fraction led us to use the new system COMPASS (I was Dosimetry) for the validation of planning.
