TL;DR: It can be concluded that dosimetric characteristics of intraoperative electron beam are substantially different from those of conventional clinical electron beam, which makes it a useful tool for intraoperative radiotherapy purposes.

TL;DR: The EBT2 film was found to be a potentially appropriate tool for breast IOERT verification and its accuracy was evaluated and justified through comparison to the results of ionometric dosimetry.

TL;DR: EBT2 film can be considered as an appropriate tool for machine and patient-specific QA in IORT and there was a good agreement between the relative dosimetries of films by the red channel, Monte Carlo simulations and ionometric values.

TL;DR: Evaluating the performance of beam shaper for conformal IOERT and preparing it for clinical applications found desirable dosimetric characteristics of beamShaper make it a useful tool for conformals IOERT.

TL;DR: Results showed that ignoring the specific recommended procedures in determining the chamber correction factors causes the overestimation of the measured dose, and a dedicated dosimetry protocol should be developed for high dose per pulse intraoperative electron Dosimetry including all of the updated correction factors and deviations from routine ionometric electron dosimetric formalisms.
