The following work will demonstrate that GEM technology with an appropriate read-out electronic able to provide a measure of the charge may represent a valid alternative to the actual devices used for 2D dosimetry in radiotherapy. It can work in real time and at a spatial resolution and a sensitivity higher than films. Acquisitions in real time mode are much faster than actual electronic devices with frame rate that can reach the pulse frequency of a medical Linac accelerator (hundreds of Hz).

Abstract

The following work will demonstrate that GEM technology with an appropriate read-out electronic able to provide a measure of the charge may represent a valid alternative to the actual devices used for 2D dosimetry in radiotherapy. It can work in real time and at a spatial resolution and a sensitivity higher than films. Acquisitions in real time mode are much faster than actual electronic devices with frame rate that can reach the pulse frequency of a medical Linac accelerator (hundreds of Hz).
