Electron beam dose perturbations caused by diode detectors used for in vivo dosimetry: Gafchromic film dose measurements in a realistic pelvic prosthesis phantom

Electron in vivo diodes can induce strong perturbations on patient dose that could influence clinical outcome especially for single-fraction electron treatment of CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders and accelerated partial breast irradiation delivered by intraoperative radiotherapy using a single dose after lumpectomy or a treatment regime using 3-5 fractions.
