In summary, the Kodak HR CR plate acts similarly to EDR2 lm in many respects when irradiated with electron beams. For perpendicular irradiation, a single calibration curve could be used while energy-specic curves are required for parallel irradiation. Isodoses and proles can accurately be measured with CR. Thus, the CR system is a useful tool for electron beam dosimetry when proper calibration procedures are performed, taking into account beam direction, energy, and for the higher energies, eld size as well.

We have found that CR imaging with large plates may be used successfully for a wide range of quality control checks for megavoltage X-ray fields from linear accelerators. The system is easy to use, giving acceptable results even without uniformity correction. Data is easily imported and analysed in commercial dosimetry software such as RIT 113 and shows that CR is an ideal complement to our aSi EPIDs for quality control.
