Claim 6:
7. An apparatus for verifying a radiation dose using a patient-specific tumor-shaped scintillator comprising:
a processor; and
a memory connected to the processor,
wherein the memory stores program instructions executable by the processor to calculate a dose absorbed in a 3D tumor-shaped scintillator when a plurality of calibration shots are irradiated through Monte Carlo simulation,
measure an output current corresponding to visible light generated by the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator attached to a modular dose verification device,
determine a calibration factor for converting the output current into the dose, and
calculate a total dose absorbed in the 3D tumor-shaped scintillator by irradiating radiation used in a treatment plan using the determined calibration factor.
