Abstract:Purpose: Treatment Planning systems (TPSˈs) inaccurately quantify the dose delivered to the skin during radiation therapy, due to their inability to account for all surface dose contributing factors. The purpose of this work was to use near tissue equivalent ultra‐thin Thermo Luminescent Dosimeters to determine and compare the average skin dose for Prostate patients using the Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) Delivery System with measurements taken on other delivery systems.
