Simulation for improvement of system sensitivity of radiochromic film dosimetry with different band-pass filters and scanner light intensities
The delivered dose of high-energy photon beams is measured with radiochromic film. Previous studies sought to improve the system sensitivity of radiochromic film dosimetry by use of band-pass filters. However,...
