The response of radiochromic film, GafChromic EBT, was investigated for dependence on x-ray beam energy using a previously reported real-time optical readout approach. X-ray beams of energy from 75 kVp to 18 MV were employed. The dose-induced change in optical density for the EBT film was compared to values obtained for GafChromic HS and MD-55 films, exposed under the same conditions. All respo...

The protective effects of Trolox on the inhibition of negative gravitaxis in Euglena gracilis exposed to 200 Gy 60Co gamma-rays were examined using different concentrations (1, 10 and 100 microM). The orientation precision of the negative gravitaxis was quantified using the r-value. A significant decrease in the r-value was observed in gamma-irradiated samples (0.18+/-0.03) compared to those of...

Objective: Brachytherapy sources are widely used for the treatment of cancer. The report of Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) of American Association of Physicists in Medicine is known as the most common method for the determination of dosimetric parameters for brachytherapy sources. The aim of this study is to obtain TG-43 dosimetric parameters for 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 103Pd brachyt...

Introduction: In radiation therapy, knowing the dose rates to healthy organs and tumors is beneficial, and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) allows for this possibility. This study was aimed at determining the dose-response differences of TLDs in various types of radiation, energy levels, and dose rate calibrated with other types of radiation beams and energy and dose levels. Materials and Meth...
