Abstract Cancer prevention and treatment are currently the focus of most research. Dose verification is an important step for reducing improper dose deposition during radiotherapy. To mend traditional gel dosimeters 3D verification, a novel rare-earth nanoparticle-based composite was prepared, which has good radioluminescence property reusability. It promising phantom material new dosimeter. TE...

This work presents experimental dosimetry results for a new 103Pd brachytherapy seed, in accordance with the AAPM TG-43U1 recommendation that all new low-energy interstitial brachytherapy seeds should undergo one Monte Carlo (MC) and at least one experimental dosimetry characterization. Measurements were performed using TLD-GR200A circular chip dosimeters using standard methods employing thermo...

A comparison of the effects of ultrasound produced by low- and high-frequency ultrasonic apparatuses upon biological systems is one of the basic problems when studying ultrasound cavitation effects. One possibility for how to compare these effects is the indirect method which uses well-known physical quantities characterizing the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter and which also conv...

Abstract Fricke gel dosimeters were prepared using a matrix based on poly(vinyl-alcohol) chemical cross-linked with glutaraldehyde and loaded Xylenol Orange. The samples irradiated gamma rays to doses in the range of 5–30 Gy consequent color changes investigated by spectrophotometric colorimetric techniques. Starting from measurement transmittance spectra, an analysis was carried out considerin...

The use of polymer gels to record radiation dose distributions in three dimensions was first proposed in 1992 as a proof-of-principle [1]. The accuracy of these early polymer gel dosimeters and scanning methods was not sufficient for most clinical applications [2]. Since then, several efforts were made to increase the accuracy and precision of both the physical gel dosimeter and the scanning te...

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...

A new approach to fast-neutron dosimeq is described. It involves circulating a liquid with dissolved chemicals between a localized neutron field and a remote area where neutron-induced radioactivities are measured continuously. This approach employs reactions whch generate relatively short-lived radioactive byproducts. Sensitivity to the neutron energy spectrum is achieved by choosing several r...

INTRODUCTION For the purpose of dose control of aircrew, many dose measurements have been conducted in airplanes. In IRPA-9, we had reported data mainly obtained with a NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer(1). In the present study, however, analyses were done on data of pocket dosimeters (Silicon detectors: Aloka PDM-101 for ionizing components and PDM-303 for neutrons). As the pocket dosimeters ...

A commercial optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimetry system was investigated for in vivo dosimetry in radiation therapy. Dosimetric characteristics of InLight dot dosimeters and a microStar reader (Landauer Inc.) were tested in (60)Co beams. The reading uncertainty of a single dosimeter was 0.6%. The reproducibility of a set of dosimeters after a single irradiation was 1.6%, while in ...

Various methodologies using a wide range of measurement systems have been employed previously in order to determine the amount of UV that could be incident upon various aquatic organisms in a number of different aquatic locales. Broadband meters and spectroradiometers have been employed extensively to take underwater measurements. However, these measurement campaigns are limited by the fact tha...
