In vivo skin dose measurement using MO Skin detectors in tangential breast radiotherapy

Highlights • Patients’ skin dose during tangential breast radiotherapy have been determined. • EBT2 film and PBC overestimated the skin dose. • The skin dose is approached and exceeded the dose toxicity level for skin erythema. • The use of suitable metrological device is necessary to determine actu...
