1. Introduction Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can non-invasively and non-destructively probe the magnetization of hydrogen atoms on water molecules in large objects with a high spatial resolution, and in three dimensions. This unique combination of properties is exploited in polymer gel dosimetry since original gel dosimeters, in which viscosity changes were measured and related to the absor...

This work reports on the new chemical dosimeters for UV radiation dose measurements coral reefs and in seawater. The proposed can measure actual of radiation, which consists 95% UVA 5% UVB unlike currently-used radiometers marine ocean waters that separately. are composed water, poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(propylene oxide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (Pluronic F-127) as a gel matrix, 2,3,5-t...

Proton pencil beam scanning is a dynamic delivery technique with excellent conformability to the tumor volume. The accuracy of spot size and positions will have significant effect on delivered dose distribution. We employed polymer gel dosimeters measure for Shanghai Advanced Therapy facility (SAPT). Polymer (MAGAT-f PAGAT) were utilized full width at half maximum (FWHM) various depths basis th...

BACKGROUND Purpose of the present work was to investigate thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) response to intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) beams. In an IOERT treatment, a large single radiation dose is delivered with a high dose-per-pulse electron beam (2-12 cGy/pulse) during surgery. To verify and to record the delivered dose, in vivo dosimetry is a mandatory procedure for qua...

Computed tomography (CT) has been widely used in clinical diagnosis. It is important to estimate radiation dose and perform image quality assurance procedures for CT scans. In this study, nMAG gel dosimeters were used to simultaneously measure the 300-mm weighted CT dose index (CTDI) and slice sensitivity profile (SSP) for multiple detector CT (MDCT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was perfor...

In numerous biominerals exposed to ionizing radiation some stable paramagnetic species are induced. Their nature can differ depending on chemical composition of biominerals. The method of choice to study paramagnetic centers in biominerals is electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. When the relationship between EPR signal intensity of stable paramagnetic center and the dose has a li...

BACKGROUND Dose assessment using proper dosimeters is especially important in radiation protection optimization and imaging justification in diagnostic radiology. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to obtain the Entrance Skin Dose (ESD) of patients undergoing lumbar spine imaging using two thermoluminescence dosimeters TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) and GR-200 (LiF: Mg, Cu, P) and also to obtain the a...

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...
