Abstract Three different dosimetry systems were prepared based on diphenyl thiocarbazone (DTH) dye: polymer films made with, poly(vinyl alcohol), DTH liquid dosimeter and gel dosimeter. All the received several gamma doses. The three analyzing by UV–Vis spectrophotometery before after irradiation. effective dose range in linear part of these is between 1–10 kGy, 0.3–2 50–200 Gy. dosimeters reli...

Background: In this work investigation of the normoxic PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter such as sensitivity, the R2-dose response with post time and the percentage depth dose (PDD) of PAGAT polymer gel dosimeter have been undertaken. Materials and Methods: Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2 was determined to be 4.5% N,N'-methylenbis- ...

Low Dose Rate Brachytherapy (LDR-BT) is a technique for treating localized prostate cancer by implanting radioactive seeds. In conventional practice, the delivery of seeds performed using transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) imaging implant guidance and checked computed-tomography post-implant dosimetry. case TRUS, accuracy can be compromised due to sub-optimal imaging. Magnetic Resonance Imaging...

Polymer gel dosimetry was used to assess an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) treatment for whole abdominopelvic radiotherapy. Prior to the actual dosimetry experiment, a uniformity study on an unirradiated anthropomorphic phantom was carried out. A correction was performed to minimize deviations in the R2 maps due to radiofrequency non-uniformities. In addition, compensation strategies we...

Background: Over recent decades, modern protocols of external beam radioÂ‌therapy and radiation techniques such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) have been developed. These methods are extremely sensitive to errors in treatment delivery, so that it is essential to apply a high resolution 3D dosimetry system that has high sensitivity and is capable of measuring and verifying the complex...

Absorbed dose distributions in 3D imparted by a single (90)Sr/(90)Y beta particle seed source of the type used for intravascular brachytherapy were investigated. A polymer gel dosimetry medium was used as a dosemeter and phantom, while a special high-resolution laser CT scanner with a spatial resolution of 100 microm in all dimensions was used to quantify the data. We have measured the radial d...

Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging dependent polymer gel dosimetry is a technique that offers unique advantages for implementing increasingly complex radiotherapy procedures, due to the high spatial resolution and volumetric dosimetry capabilities. The technique involves the estimation of radiation dose distribution based on the changes in MR relaxation parameters caused by radiation indu...

Irradiation of whole blood and blood components before transfusion is currently the only accepted method to prevent Transfusion-Associated Graft-Versus-Host-Disease (TA-GVHD). However, choosing the appropriate technique to determine the dosimetric parameters associated with blood irradiation remains an issue. We propose a dosimetric system based on the standard Fricke Xylenol Gel (FXG) dosimete...
