Abstract:
In the carcinoma lung patient, endobronchial brachytherapy (EBBT) is used
as treatment modality. The radiation dose to the tumor is planned in the treatment planning
system (TPS) on the CT scan of the patient and treatment delivered by the machine. Treatment
plan verification, dosimetric, volumetric analysis is necessary to perform for accurate treatment
delivery to the patient, which requires a tissue equivalent phantom model mimicking the actual
thoracic body structure because in the actual patient, dosimetry is not possible. In this study, the
dosimetric analysis is performed in the locally fabricated human tissue equivalent thorax
phantom with the help of Radiochromic film dosimeters. Dosimetric and volumetric analysis is
performed on patients treated with EBBT technique.
