The appropriate evaluation of measured doses in mixed fi elds requires the calibration of dosimeters in relation to different types of radiation and exposure conditions in order to split the signal into individual components corresponding to the specifi c radiation and exposure conditions of the entire period and evaluate the critical level, lower limit of detection and corresponding uncertaint...

background: results are presented on some dosimetric characteristics of sife – eldeen dosimeter based on the radiation induced conductivity (ric) of 3.5 m aqueous urea solutions. the studied characteristics were the response (ric) of sife – eldeen dosimeter in broad ranges of absorbed dose, dose rates and at different irradiation temperature. materials and methods: kent eil5007 conductivity met...

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...

The high spatial resolution of radiochromic film makes it ideal for dosimetric measurements and dose distributions in regions of high dose gradient. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, intravascular brachytherapy, and eye-plaque radiation therapy demand precise spatial dosimetric calculations. Such precision is not possible with conventional dosimeters, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters a...

Since the introduction of volumetric chemical dosimetry with Fricke gel dosimeters in the 1980s, three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry has been a promising technique for the clinic, since it provides a unique methodology for 3D dose measurement of the complex conformal dose distributions achieved by modern techniques such as Intensity Modulated and Volumetric Arc Radiation Therapy. In the last decad...

It is a common practice to check the performance of a TLD reader by inserting a light source composed of a phosphor mixed with a radioactive material, e.g., 14C . The response to the light source is used as a measure of a) the calibration or long-term stability of the reader and b) the ability of the reader to reproduce a constant signal. Usually the laboratory which measures a wide range of do...

This paper presents a method for the evaluation of the distribution of the facial erythemal UV exposure and the erythemal UV exposure per unit area of the face using only eight dosimeters located on the vertex of the head, forehead, nose, chin, left and right ears and left and right cheeks. An overall picture of the parts of the face receiving high UV exposures is provided. The distribution of ...

2014 MOS transistors are used for radiation dosimetry. The sensitivity obtained is ranging between 20 mV/ Gray (SiO2) and 1,5 V/Gray (SiO2). Good linearity and stability of the transistor response is obtained. Revue Phys. Appl. 21 (1986) 283-287 AVRIL 1986, Classification Physics Abstracts 73. 60D

Introduction Recently, owing to the increase of synchrotron radiation facilities such as SPring-8, dose measurements of high-intense low-energy photons are increasingly needed for radiation protection and medical researches. For the dose measurement, tissue equivalence of dosimeter material becomes important. A radiochromic film that has sensitivity in the dose region of several Gy to 100 Gy ha...

BACKGROUND The physician's hands are close to the X-ray field in C-arm fluoroscopy-guided pain interventions. We prospectively investigated the radiation attenuation of Proguard RR-2 gloves. METHODS In 100 cases, the effective doses (EDs) of two dosimeters without a radiation-reducing glove were collected. EDs from the two dosimeters-one dosimeter wrapped with a glove and the other dosimeter ...
