ABSTRACT
Polymer gel dosimeters are devices that utilize the radiation-induced polymerization reactions of vinyl monomers in a gel to store information of radiation dose. They have some advantages over other dosimeters as the visual conformation and the direct read-out of three-dimensional (3D) radiation dose information for the dosimetric verification of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) with steep dose gradients. In this report, the dosimetric uncertainties and potential for clinical applications of polymer gel dosimetry by the in-house developed 3D dose verification system for IMRT and VMAT QA is outlined.
