External beam irradiation angle measurement using Cerenkov emission

8. Cherenkov Dosimetry, 9. Advanced Dosimetry, MV Photon, Advanced Optical Dosimetry, Monte Carlo Simulations Show more

In this study, we propose a novel approach designed to take advantage of the Cerenkov angular dependency to perform a direct measurement of an external beam radiation angle of incidence. The detector offers promising perspectives for external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy applications.
