Research into Small Field Stereoetic Radiation Therapy
In the summer of 2010, I worked in Abington Memorial Hospital's Rosenfeld Cancer Center. The research focused on 3 different dosimetric measuring tools compared to the institutional data that was acquired by gaf-chromic film. We used these three detectors on very small field stereotactic collimators of a radiation beam to be added to the current institutional data at the hospital.Comparison of Institutional Radiochromic Film Data of Small Circular Collimators with...
I presented this research at the 2011 AAPM/COMP Joint Meeting in the lovely city of Vancouver, Canada. A travel grant for the presentation of this research was graciously provided by Siemens Healthcare, whose Linear Accelerator was used for the experiment.
