Abstract :
An optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dose mapping system is characterized and its possible application to intensity modulated radiotherapy therapy (IMRT) treatment investigated. The dose map obtained during an IMRT treatment performed on a Plexiglas phantom corroborates the results obtained with radiological films.
