Characterization of EBT3 radiochromic film for precise measurement of output factors in stereotactic radiosurgery

Radiochromic film become a demanding tool in a work of characterizing dosimetric properties in small field stereotactic radiosurgery. The aim of this project is to perform a comparative study in measuring output factor using EBT3 radiochromic film and PTW PinPoint Ion Chamber. Output factor measu...
