In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]

, 2012
In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.

Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18: A New Generation Radioprotector Protecting Human Erythrocytes Against Multiple Biochemical Damage Modes Upon Gamma Irradiation, Identifying It as a Scavenger of Short‐ and Long‐Lived Radicals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18 demonstrates strong radioprotective properties as a scavenger of both short‐ and long‐lived radicals. The study reveals protection of human erythrocytes from γ‐radiation–induced biochemical damage via post‐irradiation removal of primary and secondary reactive oxidants, supported by pulse radiolysis kinetics.

Radiation Effects in Electret Organic Thin‐Film Transistors Due to High Flux and High Dose X‐Ray Irradiation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electret‐style organic thin‐film transistors are evaluated for synchrotron X‐ray dosimetry at ultra‐high dose rates, showing promising performance and agreement with standard detectors. XPS and NEXAFS reveal radiation‐induced oxidation and Fermi level shifts in pentacene and polystyrene, correlating with reduced charge carrier mobility and providing ...

放射線エネルギーの違いによる喉頭癌における吸収線量の影響 [PDF]

, 2002
We investigated the usefulness of Gafchromic MD-55 film (Nuclear Associates, Inc.) for measuring the radiation doses on the radiotherapy of laryngeal cancers. Since larynx has thin wedge-shaped structure in anterior neck adjacent to airway, the radiation

Enhanced Scintillation with Uncorrelated TL and OSL Signals in LiCaAlF6:Eu Nanoparticles Enables Unprecedented Multimodal Radiation Dosimetry

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the coexistence of independent OSL and TL signals, demonstrating that the material preserves TL information even after complete OSL zeroing, enabling a dual dosimetric readout within the same material. Abstract The development of multimodal dosimeters capable of preserving independent luminescent signals is a ...
