Abstract	Radiation film dosimetry process using the RIT 113 v.4 dosimetry software and the film digitizer VXR-l2plus was used to evaluate the accuracy of electron dose calculations of the RAHD radiation therapy treatment planning system at Samaritan Regional Cancer Center. Kodak Ready-Pack EDR-2 film is recommended for dose distribution analysis in clinically practical dose ranges. The pencil-beam algorithm has a limitation for calculating dose in the penumbra region and in the tail region where the dose falls off.
