In this study, the impact of radiochromic films' (XR-RV3) calibration on PSD measurements was investigated under various peak kilovoltage (kVp) and additional filtration conditions. Films were calibrated free-in-air for six beam qualities with Allura Xper FD20 system (Philips). Six calibration curves (CCs) were constructed. Each beam quality was characterized in terms of mean energy (ME) in the air, with table, with table and water phantom using Monte Carlo simulations. A cohort of 155 patient films from cardiology (37) and vascular (118) procedures were read with each CC. Routine calibration beam quality was taken as reference (DoseNorm). Overall, it was observed that for a wider ME difference between the exposed film and the CC used, a larger deviation (from -28% to +41%) was observed. The choice of beam quality for the calibration is a key point when additional filtration and kVp are automatically controlled in clinical conditions.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009010 Monte Carlo Method In statistics, a technique for numerically approximating the solution of a mathematical problem by studying the distribution of some random variable, often generated by a computer. The name alludes to the randomness characteristic of the games of chance played at the gambling casinos in Monte Carlo. (From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed, 1993) Method, Monte Carlo
D002138 Calibration Determination, by measurement or comparison with a standard, of the correct value of each scale reading on a meter or other measuring instrument; or determination of the settings of a control device that correspond to particular values of voltage, current, frequency or other output. Calibrations
D005373 Film Dosimetry Use of a device (film badge) for measuring exposure of individuals to radiation. It is usually made of metal, plastic, or paper and loaded with one or more pieces of x-ray film.

D019047 Phantoms, Imaging Devices or objects in various imaging techniques used to visualize or enhance visualization by simulating conditions encountered in the procedure. Phantoms are used very often in procedures employing or measuring x-irradiation or radioactive material to evaluate performance. Phantoms often have properties similar to human tissue. Water demonstrates absorbing properties similar to normal tissue, hence water-filled phantoms are used to map radiation levels. Phantoms are used also as teaching aids to simulate real conditions with x-ray or ultrasonic machines.
