Fig. 8 — The predominant patterns of daily dose measurements observed with the implanted dosimeter.(a) An acceptable pattern where the measured dose differs < 5% from the planned dose. (b) Systematic pattern: where the measured dose is consistently higher or lower than the planned dose. The systematic pattern usually results in a cumulative dose difference greater than 7%. (c) Random pattern: when there is no definite pattern in measured dose, rather the measurements may vary from higher than expected (day 3) or lower (day 12). The random pattern usually will not result in a cumulative dose difference of greater than 5%.
