A first prototype of optical scanner based on a CCD camera and the use of Fricke-agarose-XO has allowed us to reconstruct 3D dose maps, monitoring doses in the range 0.5-3 Gy. Measurements performed with laboratory tests and with clinical beams would indicate that the uncertainty involved in dose mapping are compatible with requirements of a 3D dosimetry for the verifications of treatment plans. © 2009 IOP Publishing Ltd
