Polymer gel dosimeters are fabricated from radiation sensitive chemicals which, upon
irradiation, polymerize as a function of the absorbed radiation dose. These gel dosimeters …

Gel dosimetry was developed in the 1990s in response to a growing need for methods to
validate the radiation dose distribution delivered to cancer patients receiving high-precision …

Advances in radiotherapy technology during the last 25 years have significantly improved
both dose conformation to tumors and the preservation of healthy tissues, achieving almost …

In this work, three new polymer gel dosimeter recipes were investigated that may be more
suitable for widespread applications than polyacrylamide gel dosimeters, since the …

Radiotherapy has rapidly improved because of the use of new equipment and techniques.
Hence, the appeal for a feasible and accurate three-dimensional (3D) dosimetry system has …

In polymer gel dosimetry using magnetic resonance imaging, the uncertainty in absorbed
dose is dependent on the experimental determination of T 2. The concept of dose resolution …

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 …

PURPOSE: In rectal cancer, combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy, either pre-or
postoperatively, is an accepted treatment. Late small bowel (SB) toxicity is a feared side …

For a physical measurement instrument different requirements have to be fulfilled such as its
insensitivity to uncontrollable environmental parameters and its stability. On the other hand …

Brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for several cancer localizations,
minimizing the possibility of unacceptable risks for healthy tissues and providing a more cost …
