Response of alanine dosimeters to low energy X-rays and small fields Universiteit Hasselt
L-α-alanine Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) dosimetry is a convenient method for quality assurance (QA) measurements in radiotherapy due to its excellent properties (robustness, nearly water equivalent, nondestructive read-out, low signal fading rate). It has been used for more than 20 years as a transfer dosimetry system mostly for high-energy photon beams where the energy response is very well documented. The rapid development of small ...
