Performance characterization of a 3D liquid scintillation detector for discrete spot scanning proton beam systems.
Existing systems for proton beam dosimetry are limited in their ability to provide a complete, accurate, and detailed account of volumetric dose distribution. In this work, we describe the design and development of a portable, fast, and reusable liquid scintillator-based three-dimensional (3D) optical detection system for use in proton therapy. Our long-term goal is to use this system clinicall...
متن کاملDevelopment of a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector for range measurements of spot-scanned proton beams
The goal of the present study is to develop a liquid scintillator-based 3D detector and investigate its performance for beam range measurements in real time. The detector design consists of a tank filled with water-equivalent liquid scintillator that scintillates in response to incident proton beams. Three scientific complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (sCMOS) cameras collect the resulting ...
متن کاملSU-E-T-168: Development of a Liquid Scintillation Detector for External Beam Dosimetry.
PURPOSE The goal of this research was to design a liquid scintillation dosimeter that could be used forrelative dosimetry of linear accelerator fields. The project emphasized minimization of cost and ease of use. METHODS The scintillator that was used in this research was BETAMAX- ES scintillation cocktail from MPBiomedical. This particular scintillator was selected due to its relatively high...
متن کاملProton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملCharacterization of a new commercial single crystal diamond detector for photon- and proton-beam dosimetry
A synthetic single crystal diamond detector (SCDD) is commercially available and is characterized for radiation dosimetry in various radiation beams in this study. The characteristics of the commercial SCDD model 60019 (PTW) with 6- and 15-MV photon beams, and 208-MeV proton beams, were investigated and compared with the pre-characterized detectors: Semiflex (model 31010) and PinPoint (model 31...
