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...

INTRODUCTION At present, the polymer gel dosimeter is considered to be the best possible dosimeter for measuring 3-dimesional radiation dose distribution in radiotherapy. These gels are normally toxic; therefore, manufacturing, handling and discarding them require special attention. In order to find less toxic recipe, N-isopropyle acrylamide polymer gel (NIPAM) was introduced. In this study, th...

Micelle gel is a radiochromic hydrogel with the potential to be used as a three dimensional (3D) radiation dosimeter. Since an ideal dosimeter should present water equivalent properties, in this study the water equivalence of two formulations of micelle gel has been investigated by calculating electron density, effective atomic number, fractional interaction probabilities, mass attenuation coef...

polymer gel dosimeter is the only accurate three dimensional (3d) dosimeter that can measure the absorbed dose distribution in a perfect 3d setting. gel dosimetry by using optical computed tomography (oct) has been promoted by several researches. in the current study, we designed and constructed a prototype oct system for gel dosimetry. first, the electrical system for optical scanning of the g...

Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage depth dose (PDD) of PAGAT normoxic polymer gel dosimeter by electron beams using MRI technique for a standard clinically used Co-60 therapy unit and an electa linear accelerator. Materials and Methods: Using MRI, the formulation to give the maximum change in the transverse relaxation rate R2(1/T2) was determined to be 4.5% N,...

Introduction: In radiotherapy, treatment planning methods are evaluating and transforming every day, so precision in calculation and determination of dose delivery process is performing more important role in radiotherapy than past. In modern radiotherapy treatments, deramatically increase of small fields utilization, causes the polymeric gels has known as the most reliable dos...
