Fabrication and Optimization of a PAGATA Gel Dosimeter: Increasing the Melting Point of the PAGAT Gel Dosimeter with Agarose Additive
Introduction: The PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter melts at 30 ˚C and even at room temperature during the summer, so it needs to be kept in a cool place such as a refrigerator. To increase the stability of the PAGAT gel, different amounts of agarose were added to the PAGAT gel composition and the PAGATA gel was manufactured. Material and Methods: The PAGATA gel vials were irradiated using a Co-60 ma...
متن کاملOptimisation of the MAGAT gel dosimeter compositions
Background: An effective polymer gel dosimeter can be fabricated by varying the composition of its chemical components. Materials and Methods: The MAGAT gel dosimeter formulations that used different compositions of Methacrylic acid (MAA) and gelatin were extensively investigated in the present study according to the R2–dose response and R2–dose sensitivity. The irradiation of M...
متن کاملCharacterization of a reusable PRESAGE® 3D dosimeter
This study investigates a reusable PRESAGE® 3D dosimeter (Presage-RU), which would improve cost-effectiveness and facilitate wider implementation of comprehensive, high resolution 3D dosimetry. Small (1x1x4.5 cm) and large (8 cm diameter, 4.5 cm length) sample dosimeters were irradiated multiple times to characterize dose response (i.e. radiation-induced change in optical density (∆OD)), optica...
متن کاملMeasurement of a PAGAT gel dosimeter via ultrasound CT
In this work we use a 3D quantitative CT imaging ultrasound system to characterise polymer gel dosimeters. The system comprises of two identical 5 MHz 128 element phasedarray ultrasound transducers co-axially aligned and submerged in water as a coupling agent. Rotational and translational movement of the gel dosimeter sample between the transducers were performed using a robotic arm. Ultrasound...
متن کاملCharacterization of a radiochromic silicone dosimeter
A radiochromic silicone based dosimeter has been fabricated that allows for threedimensional (3D) dose verification. This paper characterizes the silicone dosimeter and verifies previous results found by other research groups. Using a recipe found to be dose rate independent, we identify the spectra of the dosimeter irradiated to different doses and verify that the response from different dose ...
