Dose integration and dose rate characteristics of a NiPAM polymer gel MRI dosimeter system
The normoxic polymer gel dosimeter based on N-isopropyl acrylamide (NiPAM) is a promising full 3D-dosimeter with high spatial resolution and near tissue equivalency. NiPAM gel samples were irradiated to different doses using a linear accelerator. The absorbed dose was evaluated using MRI and statistical significance of the analysed data was calculated. The analysis was carried out using an in-h...
متن کاملElectron Beam Dosimetry in Heterogeneous Phantoms Using a MAGIC Normoxic Polymer Gel
Introduction: Nowadays radiosensitive polymer gels are used as a reliable dosimetry tool for verification of 3D dose distributions. Special characteristics of these dosimeters have made them useful for verification of complex dose distributions in clinical situations. The aim of this work was to evaluate the capability of a normoxic polymer gel to determine electron dose distributions in differ...
متن کاملBasic investigation on performance of low-density polymer gel dosimeter
Background: In this study a series of basic dosimetric properties of a low-density (LD) gel dosimeter are investigated. The dose response is studied regarding to linearity, sensitivity, dose-rate and energy dependence as well as lung tissue equivalence. Materials and Methods: The LD gel was made by mixing the polymer gel with expanded polystyrene spheres. Energy dependence was studied...
متن کاملThe basic radiation properties of the N-isopropylacrylamide based polymer gel dosimeter
Background: In this study the basic radiation properties of N-isopropylacrylamaide polymer gel dosimeter were determined together with verification of its soft tissue equivalency. Materials and Methods: The NIPAM gel was prepared and irradiated approximately 2 h after manufacturing. The magnetic resonance (MR) images were made 24 h after irradiation. The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) respons...
متن کاملEvaluation of MRI-based MAGIC polymer gel dosimeter in small photon fields
Background: Accurate small radiation field dosimetry is essential in modern radiotherapy techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Precise measurement of dosimetric parameters such as beam profile, percentage depth doses and output factor of these beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium and the steep dose gradients. In the p...
