Description

We present an evaluation of the precision and accuracy of image-based radiochromic film dosimetry. A stack of radiochromic film FWT-60 separated by plastic spacers was used to map a radiation field produced by an electron pulse from a Febetron 707 accelerator (dose rate around 5 x 1011 Gy/s; maximum dose around 160 kGy). The 3D dose distribution was obtained by a He-Ne scanning-laser microdensitometer and using image segmentation and correction for non-linear response of films. Calorimetry was used to verify the results obtained with a FWT-60 film. The obtained results were compared to the results obtained using aluminum spacers in the stack of radiochromic film. (author)
