Flexible film dosimeter for in vivo dosimetry
PurposeThe aims of this study were to develop a flexible film dosimeter applicable to the irregular surface of a patient for in vivo dosimetry and to evaluate the device’s dosimetric characteristics.MethodsA flexible film dosimeter with active layers consisting of radiochromic‐sensitive films and flexible silicone materials was constructed.

Review on Nonoccupational Personal Solar UV Exposure Measurements [PDF]
Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation follows people during their whole life. Exposure to UV radiation is vital but holds serious risks, too. The quantification of human UV exposure is a complex issue.

Abstract Purpose The dual‐layer multileaf collimator (MLC) in Halcyon adds complexities to the dose calculation process owing to the variability of dosimetric characteristics with leaf motion. Recently, an enhanced leaf model (ELM) was developed to refine the MLC model in the Eclipse treatment planning system. This study investigates the performance of

Monte Carlo modeling of radiation dose from radiation therapy with superficial x‐rays
Abstract Introduction Superficial x‐rays (50–100 kVp) are used for treating non‐melanoma skin cancer and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT). At these energies, the photoelectric effect significantly increases absorbed dose to bone compared to soft tissue.

Companding technique for high dynamic range measurements using gafchromic films
We propose a methodology to perform dose measurements using gafchromic films which can span several decades of dose levels. The technique is based on a rescaling approach using different films irradiated at different dose levels.

Optically stimulated nanodosimeters with high storage capacity [PDF]
In this work we report on the thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties of beta-Na(Gd,Lu)F-4:Tb3+ nanophosphors prepared via a standard high-temperature coprecipitation route. Irradiating this phosphor with X-rays not

Abstract Purpose The Bravos v1.2 control software introduces a ring applicator component type (ACT) with channel length verification to address geometric characteristics and dosimetric discrepancies caused by source positioning inaccuracies. This study aims to commission the ring applicator and investigate the new ring ACT in Bravos 1.2.

Patterns in the received facial UV exposure of school children measured at a subtropical latitude [PDF]
Polysulphone dosimeters have been employed to measure the erythemally effective UV exposure to the vertex, nose, cheek, chin and side facial sites of 45 volunteer high school students from Hervey Bay, Australia (25.3oS 152.9oE).
