چکیده
In this paper, we proposed a method for configuring each component of a gel documentation system for the miniaturization and penetration of the system. To miniaturize the UV illuminator part, the minimum type of UVB lamp was adopted along with ballasts that can drive four lights. As the imaging system, a conventional compact digital camera, which has a similar performance to that of a DSLR, was adopted, and a PC remote control function was employed to reduce the size and cost. The proposed system showed comparable performance and image quality to those of the existing Gel documentation system even though if it was small and inexpensive.

Investigation of dosimetric characteristic of NIPAM polymer gel using x-ray CT
Introduction: Polymer gel dosimeters contain chemical materials sensitive to the radiation which are polymerized by the radiation as a function of absorbed dose. So information of spatial dose distribution can be extracted by imaging from irradiated gel. Among imaging techniques, computed tomography (CT) poses as an attractive method because of practical advantages such as acce...

متن کاملDigital Camera Performance Comparison for Low-cost Gel Documentation System
This paper presents a method to reduce the cost of the conventional gel documentation system by employing a much cheaper digital camera instead of the existing expensive one. To adapt the cheaper camera, a computer remote control function which is necessary to the gel document system was added. The gel imaging performance of the camera was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed in comparison...
