title: [Present situation and progress of dose verification in radiotherapy].
abstract: The dose verification methods in advanced radiotherapy are elaborated in this paper. The usage and application results for various dosimeters in dose verification are explained. As a theoretical method, Monte Carlo simulation, which has been developed greatly in recent years based on the technical progress in computer science, can be also used in dose verification with unique advantages. On the other hand, the principle of dose verification on proton and heavy-ion therapy is discussed briefly. Finally, the evaluation criteria for verification and the future development for dose verification are presented.
