The purpose of this study was to evaluate dependence of MAGICA polymer gel dosimeter 1/T2 on different electron energies as well as on different mean dose rates for a standard clinically used Linear accelerator. A calibration curve (in the linear region) based on 12 dosimeters (11 irradiated and one background) was obtained for 6MeV electron beam. Dose rate of dependence was studied in 10MeV el...

Radiation plays a very important role in the life of humans. Measurements radiation technologies and processes are important. Usually measurements made with dosimeters various types: solid state dosimeters, liquid gaseous dosimeters. Dose based on different principles: temperature increase, collection electric charge, development gases, accumulation free radicals, trapping electron matrix, colo...

In a smart solution-processable luminescent poly(norbornene)/oxazine-1 (Ox1) intercalated fluoromica nanohybrid, the supramolecular organization of the Ox1 dyes can be tuned at the nanoscale level and a deep red emission band switched on by inducing a phase segregation of aligned molecules within the fluoromica layered scaffold. By combining low-temperature photoluminescence and ultrafast pump-...

Since the introduction of volumetric chemical dosimetry with Fricke gel dosimeters in the 1980s, three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry has been a promising technique for the clinic, since it provides a unique methodology for 3D dose measurement of the complex conformal dose distributions achieved by modern techniques such as Intensity Modulated and Volumetric Arc Radiation Therapy. In the last decad...

Synchrotron-generated microbeam radiotherapy holds great promise for future treatment, but the high dose gradients present conventional dosimetry with a challenge. Measuring the important peak-to-valley dose ratio (PVDR) of a microbeam-collimated synchrotron source requires both a dosimeter and an analysis method capable of exceptional spatial resolution. The PVDR is of great interest since it ...

A composite system of four dosimeter materials, nalidixic acid (NDA), polysulphone, 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and phenothiazine, is presented for the passive measurement of the UV spectrum. The properties of the materials were investigated and found to be suitable to allow the materials to be applied in a system to evaluate the UV spectrum. The evaluation of the spectrum reduces by 70% the erro...

Radiation processing in many areas, particularly in radiation sterilization, demands control of the absorbed dose. Many dosimeters have been proposed for the high-level dose range (region of 10 to 50 kGy). However, in addition to the required reproducibility, reliability or uncertainty (< 5%), it is desirable for radiation processing that the selected dosimetric system is easy to operate. One o...

The objective of the study was to compare Bacillus subtilis sporefilm dosimeters with a Robertson Berger UV meter (RB meter)and diary records for assessing personal UV-B doses during a 13-day heliotherapy (HT) for atopic dermatitis (AD). In addition,the relationship between the personal UV-B dose and change inserum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was studied. Altogether21 ...
