6 MV wedge photon beam profiles with the fricke xylenol gel dosimeter

Wedged beam are often used in clinical radiotherapy to compensate missing tissues and dose gradients. In this work, the Fricke Xylenol Gel (FXG) dosimeter was used for 6 MV photons radiation wedge field profiles measurements, allowing to infer the wedge filter physical attenuation coefficient. This...
