Dosimetry, personal monitoring film
Philosophy of Photography, 2011 The article focuses on radiation dosimetry, which made use of the photographic film known as Type 2 Monitoring Film (Kodak) to detect and measure harmful ionizing radiation. It explores the implications of the demise of this technology in relation to Henri Van Lier's critique of photographic indexicality in his paper "Towards a Philosophy Instigated by

Radiochromic film dosimetry in water phantoms [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2000 Radiochromic film is investigated for use in dosimetry in water phantoms as opposed to solid phantoms. Investigations are performed to measure the penetration rates of water into radiochromic film and to assess the effects on optical density that this penetration causes.

Model selection for radiochromic film dosimetry [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2015 The purpose of this study was to find the most accurate model for radiochromic film dosimetry by comparing different channel independent perturbation models. A model selection approach based on (algorithmic) information theory was followed, and the results were validated using gamma-index analysis on a set of benchmark test cases.

Towards 3D printed multifunctional immobilization for proton therapy: initial materials characterization [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: 3D printing technology is investigated for the purpose of patient immobilization during proton therapy. It potentially enables a merge of patient immobilization, bolus range shifting, and other functions into one single patient-speci c structure.

Reference dosimetry using radiochromic film
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2012 The objectives of this study are to identify and quantify factors that influence radiochromic film dose response and to determine whether such films are suitable for reference dosimetry. The influence of several parameters that may introduce systematic dose errors when performing reference dose measurements were investigated.
