Plastic scintillators have many advantages for dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy. The
current method of transmitting the scintillation light to a remote detector is through a solid …

In proton therapy dosimetry, a fiber-optic radiation sensor incorporating a scintillator must
undergo complicated correction processes due to the quenching effect of the scintillator. To …

In scintillation dosimetry, a Cerenkov background signal is generated when a conventional
fibre optic is exposed to radiation produced by a megavoltage linear accelerator. Three …

Measurements of Cherenkov emission in tissue during radiation therapy are shown to
enable estimation of hemoglobin oxygen saturation non-invasively, through spectral fitting of …

A Cerenkov fiber-optic dosimeter (CFOD) is fabricated using plastic optical fibers to measure
Cerenkov radiation induced by a therapeutic photon beam. We measured the Cerenkov …

Fiber dosimeters have recently drawn much interest for measuring in vivo and in real time
the dose of medical radiations. This paper presents the first miniaturized fiber dosimeter …

The purpose of this work was to characterize intensity and spectral response changes in a
plastic scintillation detector (PSD) as a function of magnetic field strength. Spectra …

A Cerenkov signal is generated when energetic charged particles enter the core of an
optical fiber. The Cerenkov intensity can be large enough to interfere with signals …

Cherenkov emission (CE) is a visible blueish light emitted in water mediums irradiated by
most radiotherapy treatment beams. However, CE is produced anisotropically which …

For real-time dosimetry in electron beam therapy, an integrated fiber-optic dosimeter (FOD)
is developed using a water-equivalent dosimeter probe, four transmitting optical fibers, and …
