Description
Radiotherapy is one of the pillars of cancer treatment, relying on the precise delivery of ionizing radiation to destroy tumor cells while preserving healthy tissue. Central to this balance is dosimetry, which directly influences both therapeutic efficacy and patient safety. As advanced techniques such as VMAT and emerging modalities like FLASH and spatially fractionated radiotherapy push the boundaries of dose delivery, the demand for innovative, high-performance sensors has never been greater. This lecture highlights recent advancements in dosimetry, focusing on the development and application of next-generation detectors. We will explore the evolving roles of new ion chambers, scintillating dosimeters, and solid-state sensors in meeting the challenges posed by modern treatment modalities.
