Dosimetry at high-energy accelerators

R É S U M É Les problèmes de la dosimetric dans les champs de rayonnements ionisants diffusés autour des accélérateurs de haute énergie sont présentés. Après une courte introduction sur l'historique des grandeurs physiques utilisées pour l'acquisition de l'équivalent de dose, les techniques diverses pour la dosimétrie dans des champs mixtes à haute énergie sont décrites, en commençant par des m...

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (TLD) and its Application in Medical Physics

Radiation dosimetry is fundamental in Medical Physics, involving patients and phantom dosimetry. In both cases thennoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) is the most appropriate technique for measuring the absorbed dose. In this paper thennoluminescence phenomenon as well as the use of TLD in radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy for in vivo or in phantom measurements is discussed. Some results of measuremen...

Sensitive Fibre-Based Thermoluminescence Detectors for High Resolution In-Vivo Dosimetry

With interest in the potential of optical fibres as the basis of next-generation thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs), the development of suitable forms of material and their fabrication has become a fast-growing endeavour. Present study focuses on three types of Ge-doped optical fibres with different structural arrangements and/or shapes, namely conventional cylindrical fibre, capillary fibre,...

Energy and field size dependence of a silicon diode designed for small-field dosimetry

Purpose: To investigate the energy dependence/spectral sensitivity of silicon diodes designed for small-field dosimetry and obtain response factors (RFs) for arbitrary photon spectra using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations.   Methods: The EGSnrc user-code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the dose deposition in water and in the active volume of a stereotactic diode f...
