Claim 7:
8. A method for verifying a radiation dose using a patient-specific tumor-shaped scintillator comprising the steps of:
attaching a 3D tumor-shaped scintillator having a guide to a probe adapter;
coupling the probe adaptor to a receiving portion;
irradiating a plurality of calibration shots to the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator;
converting visible light generated by the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator into an electric signal by the plurality of calibration shots and amplifying the converted electric signal;
measuring an output current using the electric signal;
calculating a dose absorbed in the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator when the plurality of calibration shots are irradiated through Monte Carlo simulation;
determining a calibration factor for converting the output current into the dose; and
calculating a total dose absorbed in the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator by irradiating radiation used in a treatment plan using the determined calibration factor.
