Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD | Source: | RADIOTHERAPY AND ONCOLOGY, 99 (1) , p. 94 -96 | Abstract: | A measurement procedure based on alanine/electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) dosimetry was implemented successfully providing simple, stable, and accurate dose-to-water (D-w) measurements. The correspondence between alanine and ionization chamber measurements in reference conditions was excellent. Alanine/EMR dosimetry might be a valuable alternative to thermoluminescent (TLD) and ionization chamber based measuring procedures in radiotherapy audits. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
