beryllium  oxide  (beo)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (tl) properties of  the bulk material  in x and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in tl dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 c...

We developed a multichannel all-in-one phantom dosimeter system composed of nine sensing probes, a chest phantom, an image intensifier, and a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor to measure the dose distribution of an X-ray beam used in radiation diagnosis. Nine sensing probes of the phantom dosimeter were fabricated identically by connecting a plastic scintillating fiber...

In this study the spectrophotometric response of the Toluidine Blue O (TBO)-gelatin gel dosimeter irradiated with gamma rays was characterized. Preparation of dyed-gelatin gel takes place in neutral medium; to give eventually gel dosimeter has a sharp absorbance peak at 635 nm that bleaches quantitatively upon irradiation and the colour change can be measured with UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The ...

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...

A passive dosimeter designed to measure exposure to hydrogen fluoride was tested under laboratory conditions over the concentration range of 0.56 – 4.47 mg HF/m. The lowest concentration was chosen to be close to the Polish TLV (0.5 mg HF/m). The dosimeter consists of a Whatman No.1 filter paper impregnated with K2HPO4 placed in a polyethylene holder protected by a polyethylene screen. After ex...

The Air Force sponsored flight tests using damage dosimeters, fabricated by The Boeing Company, to measure temperature and structural dynamic strains on B-52, F-15 and C-130 aircraft. The dosimeter measurements help diagnose difficultto-analyze structural conditions, such as acoustics and high cycle fatigue, and support the durability patch design process to repair secondary structure cracks. T...

In this article we describe commissioning and implementation procedures for the Dose Verification System (DVS) with permanently implanted in vivo wireless, telemetric radiation dosimeters for absolute dose measurements. The dosimeter uses a semiconductor device called a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) to measure radiation dose. A MOSFET is a transistor that is general...

Background: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an indispensable tool for diagnosing infertility in females. The procedure exposes female reproductive organs to ionizing radiation as the genitals are irradiated during the process. Investigating patient absorbed dose during the procedures is essential for effective radiological protection of the patient. Objective: This study aims to investigat...
