Dose Imaging in radiotherapy photon fields with Fricke and Normoxic-polymer Gels
Abstract. Gel dosimeters are integrating dosimeters, that enable dose verification in three dimensions. Optical analysis of gel dosimeters has demonstrated to be an available technique for imaging the absorbed in-phantom dose exposed to radiotherapy beams. The goal is to demonstrate the ability of gel dosimeters to achieve accurately and spatial resolution in dose mapping, also when high dose r...
متن کاملOptical Characterization of NIPAM and PAGAT Polymer Gels for Radiation Dosimetry
Introduction The purpose of the current study was to determine optical sensitivity of N-isopropyl acrylamide NIPAM and polyacrylamide gelatin and tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphoniun chloride (PAGAT) polymer gels for different wavelength of visible light spectrum applied in optical computed tomography method. Materials and Methods NIPAM and PAGAT polymer gels with conventional formulations used f...
متن کاملThree dimensional radiation dosimetry using polymer gels
The use of polymer gels to record radiation dose distributions in three dimensions was first proposed in 1992 as a proof-of-principle [1]. The accuracy of these early polymer gel dosimeters and scanning methods was not sufficient for most clinical applications [2]. Since then, several efforts were made to increase the accuracy and precision of both the physical gel dosimeter and the scanning te...
متن کاملFricke dosimetry for synchrotron stereotactic radiotherapy
In synchrotron stereotactic radiotherapy (SSR) the tumor is loaded with a high Z element, and exposed to monochromatic x-rays from a synchrotron source, in stereotactic conditions. The SSR treatment efficiency is related to the heavy element concentration achievable in the tumor, to the radiation energy, and the irradiation geometry [1,2]. The experimental dose verification of SSR in three dime...
متن کاملDosimetry in HDR brachytherapy with Fricke-gel layers and Fricke-gel catheters
Fricke-gel layer dosimeters (FGLD) and Fricke gel dosimetric catheters (FGDC) have been designed and tested with the aim of enquiring their suitability for HDR Ir brachytherapy source control and for in-vivo dose verification during treatment. Anisotropy function measurements have been carried out with FGLDs in which a thin plastic tube has been placed in for the Ir source insertion. FGDCs are ...
