ABSTRACT
To analyse the fetal dose in all three trimesters in patients treated for brain tumors during pregnancy, a modified rando phantom representing three different trimesters was used with provisions for insertion of ion-chamber and Optically Simulated Luminescence Dosimeter (OSLD). The measurement regions were chosen at the level of fundus, umbilicus and pubis. Seven different treatment plans with 6FF and 6FFF beam energies were generated. Treating pregnant patients with brain tumors is safe irrespective of planning modalities except 3DCRT plan where the dose is 10.24 cGy.
