In vivo dosimetry (IVD) is a vital component of modern radiotherapy, ensuring accurate and safe delivery radiation doses to patients by measuring dose parameters during treatment. This paper provides comprehensive overview IVD, covering its fundamental principles, historical development, the technologies used in clinical practice. Key techniques, including thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), optically stimulated luminescent (OSLDs), diodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), electronic portal imaging devices (EPIDs), are discussed, highlighting their applications, advantages, limitations. The role IVD external beam brachytherapy, pediatric treatments emphasized, particularly contributions quality assurance, treatment validation, error mitigation. Challenges such as measurement uncertainties, technical constraints, integration into workflows explored, along with potential solutions emerging innovations. also addresses future perspectives, advancements artificial intelligence, adaptive personalized systems. entry underscores critical enhancing precision reliability advocating for ongoing research technological development.
