摘要: To verify international uniformity in carbon beam dosimetry, an intercomparison programme was carried out at the heavy ion medical accelerator (HIMAC). Dose measurements with ionization chambers were performed for both unmodulated and 6 cm modulated 290 MeV/nucleon beams. Although two different dosimetry procedures employed, evaluated values of absorbed dose good agreement. This comparison established a common framework chamber between therapy facilities.
