| Research Abstract |
In general radiographic film or radiochromic film are used to verify the dose idstribution. Although the characteristic of the film is superior for the spatial resolution, the handling of film is complecated and there is uncertainty for the convert between density and absorbed dose. In this study the new radiation detector using scintilation light named plastic scintilator was chosen to verify the dose distribution. The CCD camera was used to detect the scintilation light. With respect to the beam output, the linearity and reproducibility were evaluated with plastic scintilation detector and compared with the ionization chamber as a reference. It was found that the good agreement between two detectors except very low monitor unit which was not usually used in general radiation treatment. Finally the dose vefirication for intensity modulated radiation therapy was performed using plastic scintilation detector. There were also good agreement between measurements and calculations.
