For a higher dose ranges, e.g. 0-10 Gy the color rational linear function: X (D) = (A
+BD) / (D+C) is often preferred. For even greater dose ranges up to 20, 30 Gy or more,
the rational quadratic or cubic functions are preferred.
The exponential universal calibration is a generic or pre-shaped function determined by
compounding calibration data from many, many production lots of EBT type films. It may
better represent the shape of the response curve of EBT type films and in this way
make it better adapted to the characteristics of any one lot than are the other fitting
functions.
When the calibration is finished, there are a number of save options. Click “File” on the
menu bar and “Save treatment case as …” to save the entire case. Or save the
calibration data by right
clicking on Film
Calibration”, go to
“Save Film Calibration
Data as Treatment
Object” (see the green
box in the image to the
right). The calibration
curve, calibration table,
function and scanned
images of patches will be stored to use in calculating a dose map in this case or another
case. When a Calibration Treatment Object is reloaded the calibration can be edited.
