Imaging radiation dose in breast radiotherapy by X-ray CT calibration of Cherenkov light

Imaging Cherenkov emission during radiotherapy can provide information on the delivered radiation dose, but is attenuated by optical properties of the tissue. Here the authors derive a correction factor applicable to breast X-ray radiotherapy in human subjects to improve the correlation between Cher...
