Welcome to the IonChamberDose wiki!

The program can be used to calculate the dose in a ROOS ion chamber placed with the centre in (x,y,z) for a given field. The program calculated the field dose in Gy. Notice that the chamber is placed in the X-Y-plane. Use of this program is on one's own risk. We do not guarantee that the calculated dose is correct. The program must be validated and testes in different scenarios.

  • Enter the chamber centre or use the coordinated from the position of a predefined marker.
  • Select a field
  • Press calculated
  • remember the water-equivalent thickness of the ROOS chamber is 1.3 mm.
  • The program writes which parameter is used to correct the field dose to Gy. If the parameter "Field Dose Normalization" is different from 100%, the calculated dose will probably not be correct. This will be changed at some point.
