Phys. 2012, 39: 5257 Dosimetric characterization and use of GAFCHROMIC EBT3 film for IMRT dose verification Valeria Casanova Borca, Massimo Pasquino,a Giuliana Russo, Pierangelo Grosso, Domenico Cante, Piera Sciacero, Giuseppe Girelli, Maria Rosa La Porta, Santi Tofani JACMP 2013, 14(2): 158 Evaluation of Gafchromic EBT3 films characteristics in therapy photon, electron and proton beams J. Sorriaux, A. Kacperek, S. Rossomme, J.A. Lee, D. Bertrand, S. Vynckier, E. Sterpin Physica Medica 2013, 29: 599-606 However,  also radiochromic film has pitfalls and challenges (inhomogeneity of sensitive layer, parabola effect flatbed scanner, ….)

 can be tackled with appropriate approaches, making it extremely useful for dosimetry, e.g small field dosimetry
