Abstract:
The emergence of advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), brachytherapy, conformal radiotherapy, magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT), stereotactic synchrotron radiotherapy (SSRT) and microbeam radiotherapy (MRT), has increased the importance of the verification of volumetric dose distribution. The verification of dose distribution is usually done by 2D films and 3D gel dosimeters, but PRESAGE® due to its affordability, reproducibility, precision, accuracy, unique dosimetric and physical properties is considered as an effective candidate in providing 3D dose data. PRESAGE® is insensitive to oxygen contamination, machinable and can be molded to a variety of shapes and sizes. It is absorbing rather than scattering light which facilitates high-accuracy readout by optical computed tomography (OP-CT). This review focuses on the feasibility of using PRESAGE® in various complicated radiotherapy techniques by comparing its measured doses with 2D films and treatment planning system (TPS) calculated doses.
