Abstract
An a-Si Active Matrix Flat Panel Imager (AMFPI) prototype developed in-house has been modified to function as an in-phantom dosimetry system providing high resolution two-dimensional (2-D) data. This Active Matrix Flat Panel Dosimeter (AMFPD) system can be used as a replacement device for standard in-phantom dosimeters, such as scanning ion chambers in water, or film in solid water. The initial characterization of the device demonstrates a wide dynamic range (up to 160 cGy), a stable calibration curve (less than 1.5% variation over 1 year), dose rate independence (less than 1%), and excellent agreement of output factors with ion chamber measurements for a range of field sizes (less than 2%). The device also compares well to film for 2-D planar dose distributions. It is expected that the AMFPD system will be useful for beam commissioning, algorithm verification test data, and routine IMRT quality assurance dosimetry.
