Description
This project presents recent advances in small field dosimetry for radiosurgery treatments with Brainlab circular cones using 6 MV x-rays. The specific advances included: the use of a new microDiamond detector, the use of radiochromic film and OSLD detectors with an extrapolation technique, skin dose measurements and Monte Carlo simulation of radiosurgery treatments. There is limited published data on the output factor for the 4 mm circular cone. This thesis provides methodology and guidelines on how to perform such difficult measurements.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
