“…For both IORT modalities, electrons and kV-Xrays, a large number of examinations have been published dealing with in-vivo dosimetry, possibly indicating a need for better information in IORT dose and dose distribution. As detectors, MOSFETs [ 86 , 113 – 118 ], radiochromic film [ 106 , 107 , 115 – 118 , 119 ], optically stimulated luminescence detectors (OSLDs) [ 96 ] and TLDs [ 118 , 120 ] have been used, in one publication the use of semi-conductor diodes is reported [ 121 ]. Additional file 1 gives a compilation of the publications showing the detectors and their uncertainties as stated by the authors, the investigated treatment sites and the measured quantity, and highlights the detected deviations from the expected dose.…”
