There are numerous physical effects interplaying between the radiation field, the medium, and the detector that influence and challenge the accuracy of dosimetry in non-equilibrium environments. Standard Imaging's Exradin W2 scintillation detector was recently introduced to the field and aims to increase accuracy of small field measurements. The W2 detector was determined to be a viable detector for small-field dosimetry if anisotropy is accounted for. 000009148 650__ $$aRadiation$$025066 000009148 650__ $$aRadiosurgery$$029276 000009148 650__ $$aAnisotropy$$029494 000009148 650__ $$aReference Standards$$025249 000009148 650__ $$aRadiometry$$025112 000009148 650__ $$aRadionuclide Imaging$$025115 000009148 6531_ $$aintensity-modulated radiotherapies 000009148 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009148 7001_ $$aSloop, Austin M. 000009148 8564_ $$94a427d2c-5195-491f-a1ab-3271c79830f3$$s1202577$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9148/files/Sloop.Austin.2021.pdf 000009148 905__ $$a/rest/prod/0r/96/74/53/0r967453b 000009148 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9148$$pstudent-work 000009148 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
