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 carbon beams. Although two different dosimetry procedures were employed, the evaluated values of absorbed dose were in good agreement. This comparison established a common framework for ionization chamber dosimetry between two different carbon beam therapy facilities.
