This work assesses the overall reproducibility and accuracy of an x-ray computed tomography (CT) polymer gel dosimetry (PGD) system using a N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) based polymer gel and investigated what effects the use of generic, inter-batch, and intra-batch gel calibration have on dosimetric and spatial accuracy. Overall excellent spatial and dosimetric accuracy was found with this sys...
Raman spectroscopy are used to characterize the chemical changes in normoxic polyhydroxyethylacrylate gel dosimeter (PHEA) induced by radiation. Irradiations in the low dose region are performed and the polymerizations of PHEA gels are monitored by the observing the changes of Raman shift intensity of the carbon covalent bond of PHEA originated from both monomer and the cross-linker. The variat...
Introduction: The purpose of this work was to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry for evaluating the dose distribution in HDR brachytherapy of esophagial cancer at Imam Reza brachytherapy center (Mashhad, Iran). Materials and Methods: Initially, 2liters of normoxic gel (MAGIC) was fabricated and then poured into 12 calibration test tubes and placed in a perspex walled phanto...
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...
background: accurate small radiation field dosimetry is essential in modern radiotherapy techniques such as stereotactic radiosurgery (srs) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt). precise measurement of dosimetric parameters such as beam profile, percentage depth doses and output factor of these beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium and the steep dose gradients. in the p...
background: polymer gel dosimetry is still the only dosimetry method for direct measuring of threedimensional dose distributions. mri polymer gel dosimeters are tissue equivalent and can act as a phantom material. in this study the obtained isodose maps with pagat polymer gel dosimeter were compared to those calculated with egsnrs for singleshot irradiations of 8 and 18 mm collimators of gamma ...
Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy and especially in IMRT and SRS/SRT treatments. Accurate beam profile measurements of such beams are crucial for a precise and effective treatment. In this work four different dosimetric methods have been used for profile measurements of three small 6 MV circular fields having diameters of 7.5, 15.0 and 30.0 mm. A small sensitive v...
Introduction: The objective of this work is to study the ability of MRI normoxic polymer gel dosimetry system to be used to verify the calculated dose distribution, in a simple geometry, in clinical radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Initially, 2 liters of the normoxic MAGAT polymer gel was prepared and then poured into two cylindrical Perspex phantom (simu...
Introduction: Polymer gels are modern dosimeters providing three dimensional dose distributions. These dosimeters can be used in brachytherapy in which the tumor dimension is relatively small and the dose gradient is high. In this study, the ability of the MAGICA polymer gel was investigated for assessing the absolute dose values as well as the dose distribution of low dose rate (LDR) Ir-192 wi...
