Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) examinations of the head, paranasal sinus (PNS), and cervical spine (C‐spine) are frequently performed in emergency settings, raising concerns about radiation exposure to the radiosensitive eye lens. Overexposure can cause radiation‐induced ocular damage.

Dosimetric characteristics of fabricated Ge-doped silica optical fibre for small-field dosimetry
We study 3 mm long germanium-doped (Ge-doped) silica fibres for small-field dosimetry, seeking to overcome spatial resolution and charged-particle disequilibrium issues, also any associated dose deviation from that of computerised treatment plan dose ...
