Ultraviolet radiation thin film dosimetry: A review of properties and applications. [PDF]
Solar ultraviolet (UVR) exposure measurements at various body sites during daily activities, as well as on plants, animals, and any field sites of interest are essential for an understanding of the UVR environment. Thin film dosimetry provides a practical and versatile method for conducting these measurements.

Characterization of the effect of MRI on Gafchromic film dosimetry. [PDF]
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of Gafchromic film causes perturbation to absolute dosimetry measurements; the purpose of this work was to characterize the perturbation and develop a correction method for it. Three sets of Gafchromic EBT2 film were compared: radiation (control), radiation followed by MR imaging , and MR imaging followed by radiation ...

Real-time dosimetry with radiochromic films [PDF]
AbstractRadiochromic film dosimetry has been widely employed in most of the applications of radiation physics for over twenty years. This is due to a number of appealing features of radiochromic films, such as reliability, accuracy, ease of use and cost. However, current radiochromic film reading techniques, based on the use of commercial densitometers

Absolute calibration for film dosimetry
Recent results in the field of film dosimetry demonstrated that the Green–Saunders equation, a solution of the logistic equation describing phenomena of kinetics of chemical reactions, is the absolute calibration function for all radiochromic film types.
