Which item is not typically included in a dosimetric plan?

• A. Safety checks
• B. Material cost
• C. Treatment duration
• D. Electrode placement

Answer: (B)

Dosimetric planning focuses on how the therapeutic dose is delivered: where the electrodes are placed to shape the current path, how long the current is applied to achieve the intended dose, and the safety checks that ensure all parameters stay within safe limits. The item that is not typically included is the material cost, because the plan is about dose calculation and delivery, not about financial aspects. Costs influence budgeting and procurement, not the dosimetric decisions that determine where the dose goes and for how long it’s applied. So material cost doesn’t affect the dose planning or the safety parameters, making it the best answer.
