Calibration of film dosimeter Kodak EDR2 to irradiation dose film

Abstract:
Calibration of film dosimeter Kodak EDR2 to irradiation dose film
Radiotherapy is a way to cure cancer with irradiation. Before a therapy, a treatment planning must do optimize to give a right dose with cancer condition. But, in reality, treatment planning and practice in the field when giving a therapy sometimes not matching. So, a verification dose after giving a therapy must do.
A film dosimeter Kodak EDR2 is used as tool to give information the distribution of dose which is given on a therapy cancer. Suppose of this paper is to explain a calibration of a film dosimeter from irradiation exposure to irradiation dose film.
Scanning method is chosen because it very simple than use a densitometer. A curve of Rachael E Morcell dan Andy Rogers is used to form information optical density to film dose. With filter wedge or not, this calibration is result with error 6%.
