Small Field Dosimetry, IMRT / VMAT Patient Plan Verification and LINAC QA
Clinical dosimetry with ionization chambers according to the international Code of Practice IAEA TRS 398 - in theory and practice
The course addresses key issues in small field dosimetry, patient plan verification and LINAC commissioning and QA.
It gives a thorough introduction to PTW detectors and QA systems recommended for standard and rotational IMRT and provides a good mix of theory and practice.
As such, it is very well suited for medical physicists who want to update and extend their skills and knowledge of practical dosimetry.
