Dosimetric parameters of Enhanced Dynamic Wedge for treatment planning and verification

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Utah Health Sciences Center, Salt Lake City, UT 84132 USA

Abstract 

Treatment planning for Enhanced Dynamic Wedge requires a knowledge of the dosimetric parameters of the treatment fields. These dosimetric parameters include depth doses, surface doses, buildup doses, peripheral doses, beam profiles, wedge angles and wedge factors. These parameters and their application to treatment planning are evaluated and compared with standard open field and metal wedge field dosimetric parameters.
