introduction the use of cut-outs in electron applicators make changes on output, isodose, and percentage depth dose (pdd) curves. these changes and electron beam dose distribution in the form of three-dimensional (3d) can be measured by gel dosimeters. materials and methods dosimetry was performed with and without a square shield (6×6 cm2 field). the energies were 4, 9, and 16 mev and phantom w...

Abstract NC-FG (nanocomposite Fricke gel) dosimeter is a 3D for heavy ion beam without LET dependence. In this study, we evaluate the effects of silver perchlorate, radical scavenger, on NC-FG. We find that radiological properties are changed by small amounts perchlorate. Especially, dose response at high enhanced.

Computed tomography (CT) has been widely used in clinical diagnosis. It is important to estimate radiation dose and perform image quality assurance procedures for CT scans. In this study, nMAG gel dosimeters were used to simultaneously measure the 300-mm weighted CT dose index (CTDI) and slice sensitivity profile (SSP) for multiple detector CT (MDCT). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was perfor...

Excessive water production through fractures become an important problem in oil exploration of fractured reservoirs. For this purpose, polymer gels were prepared by crosslinking of aqueous solutions of polymer and crosslinker for the purpose of water management in high water cut fractured reservoirs. A copolymer of sulfonated polyacrylamide was used as polymer and chromium triacetate (Cr(OA...

Polymer gels are regarded as a potential dosimeter for independent validation of absorbed doses in clinical radiotherapy. Several imaging modalities have been used to convert radiation-induced polymerization to absorbed doses from a macro-scale viewpoint. This study developed a novel dose conversion mechanism by texture analysis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The modified N-isopr...
