Abstract
Cherenkov radiation (CR) is produced from all high energy radiation sources and is part of the dose delivery process in tissue. As such, CR is a direct indicator of the dose delivery process and in recent years the ability to image and measure CR has provided a number of ways to help with radiotherapy dosimetry and delivery tracking. This review provides an overview of the fundamental physical principles of CR production and the radiation transport in tissue, along with applications of imaging CR that have seen significant development in the past few years.
