Abstract

In this work, the performance of MAGIC polymer gel in measuring dosimetric parameters beyond lung heterogeneity in small fields was investigated. All data were obtained using MAGIC, EBT2, and MC in four small field sizes. The maximum local differences between MAGIC and MC were less than 5.1, 3.9, 3.1, and 2.6% for PDD values behind lung heterogeneity at 5, 10, 20, and 30 mm field sizes, respectively. The findings showed that MAGIC is a suitable tool for dosimetry behind low-density heterogeneity. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
