Dr Andiappa Sankar, head of radiotherapy physics dosimetry at Western General, Edinburgh, graduate trainee Leila Nichol and the physics team, have been testing a new physics device called Dosimetry Check, working closely with Oncology Systems Limited and manufacturers Math Resolutions LLC / CIVCO Inc,  Iowa.

 

Dosimetry Check uses electronic portal imagers, already inherent on linear accelerators, to check treatment plans both before and during treatment. Measuring a patient’s treatment during a fraction is Transit Dosimetry. Dr Sankar was keen to be involved with the gamma testing of Dosimetry Check and reports on what he believes are the system’s benefits.
