Background
Radiochromic films have many applications in radiology and radiation therapy. Generally, the dosimetry system for radiochromic film dosimetry is composed of radiochromic films, flatbed scanner, and film analysis software. The purpose of this work is to present the effectiveness of a protocol for accurate radiochromic film dosimetry using
Materials and methods
Procedures for image acquisition, lot calibration, and dose calculation are explained and analyzed.
Results
The protocol presented here provides accurate dose results by mitigating the sources of uncertainty that affect radiochromic film dosimetry.
Conclusions
Appropriate procedures for film and scanner handling in combination with
