Optically stimulated nanodosimeters with high storage capacity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
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

Playing Hard with Si: Challenges and Opportunities for New Materials in Radiation Therapy Dosimetry

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon has been a cornerstone material of radiation therapy dosimetry for many decades, providing somewhat unchallenged performance. However, there are caveats to its use, requiring complex designs and, often, correction factors to provide accurate measurements.

Collapsed cone superposition algorithm validation for chest wall tangential fields using virtual wedge filters

open access: yesJournal of Medical Signals and Sensors, 2023
Background: Virtual wedge (VW) is used in radiotherapy to compensate for missing tissues and create a uniform dose distribution in tissues. According to TECDOC-1583 and technical reports series no.

Development and operation of a pixel segmented liquid-filled linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance

open access: yes, 2004
A liquid isooctane (C$_{8}$H$_{18}$) filled ionization linear array for radiotherapy quality assurance has been designed, built and tested. The detector consists of 128 pixels, each of them with an area of 1.7 mm $\times$ 1.7 mm and a gap of 0.5 mm.

Seasonal Minimum and Maximum Solar Ultraviolet Exposure Measurements of Classroom Teachers Residing in Tropical North Queensland, Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The risk of keratinocyte skin cancer, malignant melanoma and ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced eye disease is disproportionately higher in Australia and New Zealand compared to equivalent northern hemisphere latitudes.

FLASH Irradiation Modulates Immune Responses and Accelerates Lung Recovery: A Single‐Cell Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals distinct immune responses to FLASH versus conventional dose rate irradiation in early radiation‐induced lung injury. FLASH irradiation reduces Ccrl2⁺ neutrophil infiltration, activates CD4⁺ CD40L⁺ Th cells, restrains pro‐inflammatory Mefv⁺ monocytes, and enhances epithelial repair via TGF‐β signaling, underscoring its

Development of two dosimeters for industrial use with low doses [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology and Radiation Protection, 2017
The present study involves a comparison between two dosimetry systems. The first system depends on victoria blue B (incorporating polyvinyl alcohol) as a thin-film dosimeter. The second system depends on the same dye as a liquid dosimeter, which

Patterns in the received facial UV exposure of school children measured at a subtropical latitude [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
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).

Vertical Phase Separation in Blended Organic Semiconducting Films and Impact on Their Electrical and Direct X‐Ray Detection Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The composition of blends of 1,4,8,11‐tetramethyl‐6,13‐triethylsilylethynyl pentacene (TMTES) and polystyrene (PS) to be used in Organic Field‐Effect Transistors (OFETs) is optimized to achieve and enhance thin film crystallinity and a reduced charge trap density at the semiconductor/dielectric interface.

Dosimetric characteristics of a new linear accelerator under gated operation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Respiratory gated radiotherapy may allow reduction of the treatment margins, thus sparing healthy tissue and/or allowing dose escalation to the tumor. However, current commissioning and quality assurance of linear accelerators do not include evaluation ...
