dosimetric evaluation of a newly developed radiochromic film for radiation processing

چکیده
in order to improve the performance of a newly developed radiochromic film, gic-79, somedosimetric characteristics of this film have been studied based on relevant standard practice. the presentstudy describes some parameters that may affect the dosimeter response before, during, and after irradiation. the effect of absorbed dose rate on dosimeter response was determined by irradiating dosimeters at low absorbed dose rates with gamma rays. calibration irradiations of dosimeters were performed with both gamma rays and also electrons to determine the effect of large difference absorbed dose rates on dosimeter response. in addition, post irradiation stability was obtained and also the temperature and humidity effects on the dosimeter response during the storage time prior to irradiation and post irradiation have been investigated

Radiochromic film for medical radiation dosimetry
Photon, electron and proton radiations are used extensively for medical purposes in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Dosimetry of these radiation sources can be performed with radiochromic films, devices that have the ability to produce a permanent visible colour change upon irradiation. Within the last 10 years, the use of radiochromic films has expanded rapidly in the medical world due ...
متن کاملUltraviolet radiation dosimetry with radiochromic film.
Radiochromic film is tested for its broad-band response to ultraviolet (UV) B (290-320 nm) and A (320 nm400 nm), visible and infrared radiation produced by a solar simulator and examined for dosimetry in ultraviolet radiation. Results show that MD-55-2 radiochromic film in solar and fluorescent light sources responds almost exclusively to broad-band UVA radiation with negligible colouration fro...

متن کاملEvaluation of a single‐scan protocol for radiochromic film dosimetry
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a single-scan protocol using Gafchromic EBT3 film (EBT3) by comparing it with the commonly used 24-hr measurement protocol for radiochromic film dosimetry. Radiochromic film is generally scanned 24 hr after film exposure (24-hr protocol). The single-scan protocol enables measurement results within a short time using only the verification film, one calib...

متن کاملComparison of Epson scanner quality for radiochromic film evaluation
Epson Desktop scanners have been quoted as devices which match the characteristics required for the evaluation of radiation dose exposure by radiochromic films. Specifically, models such as the 10000XL have been used successfully for image analysis and are recommended by ISP for dosimetry purposes. This note investigates and compares the scanner characteristics of three Epson desktop scanner mo...
