AbstractAbstract
[en] With the technological equipment used in radiotherapy became possible use of some radiation fields named 'small fields' in some special forms of radiotherapy. Thus, the dosimetry of radiation fields also had to be revised, as with these new sizes of fields, there is no reference condition such as that expressed in dosimetry protocols and guidelines. This work represents a complete study of small fields and its dosimetry, showing the behavior of the detectors in this new condition of dosimetry through a comparison between the detectors used and data already published. Moreover, the experimental data can be validated by comparison with data published by others authors. In the characterization of the same diamond detector has been considered appropriate in all parameters measured with small fields. The analysis of the beam quality factor (Q) the experimental results obtained in this study showed differences in percentages of 1.8%, 4.0% and 4.9% for chamber-type CC01, CC13 and stereotactic diode respectively. In evaluating PDP and TMR was possible to observe the difficulty in measurements with small fields and the comparison of different detectors, the biggest difference for PDP was 2.6% and 2.7% for TMR.
