<p>A dose distribution analyzer (20) and methods for providing a radiation dose map indicating energy of a spacially variable radiation pattern beamed onto a dose map radiation dosimeter (10). The radiation dosimeter (10) is exposed to a proposed spacially variable radiation pattern such as used in a phantom patient for patient radiation dose treatment verification. The dosimeter (10) is subsequently analyzed by the dose distribution analyzer (20). Such analyzer includes a phosphor stimulator (53), an image forming subsystem (38), and an image sensor (37). A dosimeter holder (32) holds the dosimeter near the phosphor stimulator (53). A system controller (22) is connected to receive image data from the image sensor (37) while the dosimeter (10) is stimulated. The controller (22) utilizes the image data to derive a radiation dose map which indicates the distribution of radiation in the spacially variable radiation pattern which strikes the dosimeter (10).</p> |
