Abstract

The physical characteristics of a new dosimeter are presented. In addition to the traditional dosimetric applications, the instrument permits other types of measurements, such as measurement of the x-ray output of diagnostic apparatus, measurement of radioactive prepatations, measurement of both individual and collective dosages, determination of the dose received during therapeutic treatments, the simultaneous determination of the dose received at various points of a phantom during kinetic irradiations, and the detection of cosmic radiation or radioactive contamination.

Fiber-coupled Luminescence Dosimetry in Therapeutic and Diagnostic Radiology

Journal Article Andersen, Claus - AIP Conference Proceedings

Fiber-coupled luminescence dosimetry is an emerging technology with several potentially attractive features of relevance for uses in therapeutic and diagnostic radiology: direct water equivalence (i.e. no significant perturbation of the radiation field in a water phantom or a patient), sub-mm detector size, high dynamic range (below a mGy to several Gy), microsecond time resolution, and absence of electrical wires or other electronics in the dosimeter probe head. Fiber-coupled luminescence dosimetry systems typically consist of one or more small samples of phosphor, e.g. a mg of plastic scintillator, attached to 10-20 m long optical fiber cables of plastic. During irradiation, eachmore »« less

SU-E-T-643: Pure Alanine Dosimeter for Verification Dosimetry in IMRT

Journal Article Al-Karmi, Anan; Zraiqat, Fadi - Medical Physics

Purpose: The objective of this study was evaluation of accuracy of pure alanine dosimeters measuring intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) dose distributions in a thorax phantom. Methods: Alanine dosimeters were prepared in the form of 110 mg pure L-α-alanine powder filled into clear tissue-equivalent polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) plastic tubes with the dimensions 25 mm length, 3 mm inner diameter, and 1 mm wall thickness. A dose-response calibration curve was established for the alanine by placing the dosimeters at 1.5 cm depth in a 30×30×30 cm{sup 3} solid water phantom and then irradiating on a linac with 6 MV photon beam at 10×10more »« less

RADIATION DOSIMETRY WITH FLUORODS. Miniature Glass Rod Dosimetry

Journal Article Hodara, M; Friedman, M; Hine, G - Radiology (U.S.)

The fluorod (a silver-activated phosphate glass rod) is a tiny dosimeter whose fluorescence following ionizing irradiaation is proportional to the dose. Its potential usefulness in clinical radiation therapy, due to its small size (1 x 6 mm), prompted a physical and clinical investigation of its dosimetric properties. Following exposure to radiation, the fluorod is positioned in a fluorimeter and its fluorescence under altraviolet light is measured. The fluorod has the following dosimetric properties when exposed to 2-Mvp x rays; the response is linear to dose up to at least 8,000 r; it is independent of temperature at the time ofmore »« less
SU-D-213-06: Dosimetry of Modulated Electron Radiation Therapy Using Fricke Gel Dosimeter

Journal Article Gawad, M; Elgohary, M; Hassaan, M; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: Modulated electron radiation therapy (MERT) has been proposed as an effective modality for treatment of superficial targets. MERT utilizes multiple beams of different energies which are intensity modulated to deliver optimized dose distribution. Energy independent dosimeters are thus needed for quantitative evaluations of MERT dose distributions and measurements of absolute doses delivered to patients. Thus in the current work we study the feasibility of Fricke gel dosimeters in MERT dosimetry. Methods: Batches of radiation sensitive Fricke gel is fabricated and poured into polymethyl methacrylate cuvettes. The samples were irradiated in solid water phantom and a thick layer of bolusmore »« less

GONADAL DOSIMETRY IN DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY

Journal Article Moody, D; Cameron, J; Juhl, J - Wisconsin Med. J.

The range of dosages in x-ray examinations at a university hospital was investigated, using a phantom simulating a human figure from the costal margins to the lower thigh above the knees for radiological measurements. Within a full- body cast of an adult female were placed lumbar vertebrae, pelvic skeleton including coccyx, and attached femurs. The cavity was then filled with molten Mix-D (tissue equivalent 1.0) and allowed to harden. After removal of the cast, ovarian location was determined from anthropological tables; then holes 1.5 cm. in dia were drilled frorn the anterior and lateral aspects of the model intersecting atmore »« less
