DOSE MAP (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfcGM3yIHlU)

To measure or evaluate a dosimetry film, it is necessary to first scan the film and apply

an appropriate calibration function to convert the resulting image into dose space. Once

converted to a dose image, FilmQA

™

Pro offers an array of quantitative analysis tools to

evaluate the dose maps.

To work with an exposed

application film begin by

opening a Calibration Object

and developing a calibration

function. Alternatively open a

saved case containing a

calibration object/calibration

function or load a Calibration

Object or Fixed Calibration from

file. For either of the last two,

right click on “Add new case

object” in the Case Data

Selector window and from the

drop-down menu, select “Open

case object from file” then navigate to the correct folder and load the calibration file.

Note: The calibration function is scanner dependent as well as being dependent on the

film type and manufacturing lot. The film image being used for dose map calculation

must be acquired from the same scanner as the calibration data and be the same

acquisition type, e.g. reflection or transmission mode and positive or negative image. In

addition the application film must come from the same manufacturing lot as the

calibration film.
