The pixel chamber consists of a matrix 1020 detectors, each 4.5 mm diameter and 5 mm height at a pitch of 7.62 mm. Each of the 1020 ionization chambers was read out independently with no dead time. Standard radiographic films have been used, scanned with a pitch of 0.16 mm and 0.40 mm. Both detectors were irradiated with 6 MV photon beams, using a linac equipped with a 120‐leaves multileaf collimator. Measured dose profiles were fitted with a “Fermi‐like” function: <jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="graphic/mp1275-math-0001.png" xlink:title="urn:x-wiley:0094-2405:media:mp1275:mp1275-math-0001" /> with <jats:italic>x</jats:italic><jats:sub>0</jats:sub> and <jats:italic>a</jats:italic> as free parameters; the value for the penumbra could then be derived from the fit. The two sets of data were compared. <jats:bold>Results:</jats:bold> The data for the penumbra measured with the pixel chamber and the film for several IMRT fields show a strong linear correlation. This made it possible to correct the penumbra values obtained with the pixel ionization chamber to obtain a precise measurement even in a range well below the pixel dimensions. <jats:bold>Conclusion:</jats:bold> The 2D pixel ionization chamber has been shown to be able to measure the penumbra down to ∼ 2mm with an accuracy of ± 0.6 mm. This device can then efficiently replace radiographic film in some QA procedures with a significative gain in time as it gives results in real‐time and data are immediately available.
