Design of a multiblock phantom for radiotherapy dosimetry applications.
This note describes the design of a multiblock semi-anatomic phantom, which lends itself to a variety of radiotherapy dosimetry applications, in particular, the audit of external beam treatment planning and delivery. The basic building blocks of the phantom were formed from a variety of tissue substitute materials and could be assembled in many ways to model different cross-sections through the body.
