Résumé

Radiochromic EBT3 films are commonly used as dosimeter for clinical practice and research on radiotherapy. In principle, they are associated with a flatbed scanner to determine the optical density change, which can be correlated to the absorbed dose after calibration. Several approaches have been proposed to reduce the uncertainties during acquisition and to compensate the lighting inhomogeneities, thus improving the dose measurement. Those works have shown that good accuracy can be achieved for absorbed dose using EBT3 films, at the expense of complex data processing and time-consuming acquisition protocols.
