Abstract
Film dosimetry is used widely to obtain relative dose distributions of clinical electron beams in phantoms. Nevertheless, measurement results obtained with film dosimetry may lack precision and reliability. In this paper well defined and reproducible methods in film dosimetry are discussed. By application of these methods, film dosimetry appears to be adequate in measuring relative dose distributions of clinically applied electron beams, with an accuracy of 1% to 2% of the dose maximum, in water and plastics as well as in heterogeneously composed material.
