Proton beam dosimetry by CR-39 track-etched detector
Background: High and intermediate energy protons are not able to form a track in a solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD) directly. However, such tracks can be formed through secondary particles created during primary radiation nuclear reactions in a SSNTD. Materials and Methods: The protons with primary energies of 9.6 and 30 MeV available at the cyclotron accelerator with corresponding lo...
متن کاملSmall field electron beam dosimetry using MOSFET detector
The dosimetry of very small electron fields can be challenging due to relative shifts in percent depth-dose curves, including the location of dmax, and lack of lateral electronic equilibrium in an ion chamber when placed in the beam. Conventionally a small parallel plate chamber or film is utilized to perform small field electron beam dosimetry. Since modern radiotherapy departments are becomin...

متن کاملReference dosimetry and small - field dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy : Results from a Danish intercomparison study
max. 2000 char.): A comparison of dosimetry methods at different clinics can be used as a means to uncover systematic uncertainties in radiotherapy. To assess the current status of reference dosimetry and small-field dosimetry in clinical practice, a collaborative comparison study involving several dosimetry methods was performed by DTU Nutech at six Danish clinics. The first part of the interc...
متن کاملA neutron track etch detector for electron linear accelerators in radiotherapy
BACKGROUND Electron linear accelerators in medical radiotherapy have replaced cobalt and caesium sources of radiation. However, medical accelerators with photon energies over 10 MeV generate undesired fast neutron contamination in a therapeutic X-ray photon beam. Photons with energies above 10 MeV can interact with the atomic nucleus of a high-Z material, of which the target and the head of an ...
