Abstract

This review covers the main developments in x-ray CT-based polymer gel dosimetry (PGD) and more recently on-board cone-beam CT (CBCT) polymer gel dosimetry. Fundamental work as well as clinically-based applications are described and advantages and disadvantages of approaches highlighted. The body of work present within the literature points towards an overall feasibility of CT PGD and increasingly CBCT PGD as viable tools for the verification of highly complex, high dose radiotherapy treatments.
