Abstract (EN): An accurate calibration method was developed to overcome the depth, field size and film plane orientation sensitivity dependence of Kodak X-OMAT V film and to allow the measurement of dose distributions with the required accuracy in Radiotherapy. The developed method was tested with 4 MV photon beams, the lowest available linear accelerator energy where the effect of film sensitivity changes with depth and field size is most pronounced.
