NOTE

A useful tool for verifying segmental or dynamic treatments with multiple multi-leaf collimator positions, spinning range modulator propellors or magnetically scanned beams would be a film with a linear dose response up to several hundred centiGray, as typical for delivered treatments. Kodak has released an extended range film (EDR-2) that may satisfy this desire. In this study, dose response curves were obtained for several electron, proton, carbon ion and iron ion beams of different energies to determine the utility of this film.
