Measurement of The Electron Return Effect Using Presage Dosimeter
… of MRgRT than two-dimensional dosimetry. The 3D dosimeters can also be used to estimate the volumetric dose distribution in MRgRT treatment of heterogeneous treatment sites (e.g., lung), around simple structures such as the trachea and the esophagus, and in MR-guided brachytherapy.</p> <p>In this …

An Implantable Mosfet Dosimeter Modified to Act As A Fiducial Marker
… has been developed, an implantable MOSFET dosimeter. This dosimeter is implanted within the patient and records the dose received. Since the dosimeter is implanted in the patient, it could serve a dual function as a fiducial marker for image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) treatment if it …

Optimization of the MgS:Eu:Sm phosphor for potential use as an optically stimulated personnel dosimeter
… phosphor for laser stimulated personnel dosimeters. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeters are advantageous in that they provide a faster, isothermal dose measurement than conventional thermoluminescent dosimeters. The effects of activator concentration and chemical …

Fault-tolerant passively integrating in-vivo dosimeters for feedback-enabled proton therapy (IF²D, or integrating feedback F-center dosimeter)
Current dosimeters used in radiotherapy for cancer treatment fail to distinguish between radiation received by the targeted tumor and the surrounding healthy tissue. The Integrating Feedback F-center Dosimeter is designed to be fault-tolerant, with the capability to distinguish the radiation dose …

Evaluation of Polymer Gel Dosimeters For Measurements of Dose and Let In Proton Beams
… assessed the effectiveness of polymer gel dosimeters as tools for measuring the dose deposited by and LET of a proton beam. A total of three BANG® dosimeter formulations were evaluated: BANG®-3-Pro-2 BANGkits™ for dose measurement and two BANG®-3 variants, the LET-Baseline and LET-Meter …

Development of novel indicators
… dissolved in poly(vinyl alcohol). This viologen dosimeter responds clearly to different wavelengths and intensities of UV light, although the colour change is hampered by the presence of oxygen, and completely reversed in the absence of UV light. Attempts are made to enhance the rate of the …
