Luminescence dosimetry is the process of quantifying the absorbed dose of ionizing
radiation using detectors that exhibit luminescence. The luminescence intensity scales with …

Background and purpose Remote beam output audits, which independently measure an
institution's machine calibration, are a common component of independent radiotherapy …

The response of Al 2 O 3: C optically stimulated luminescence detectors (OSLDs) was
investigated in a 250 MeV pencil proton beam. The OSLD response was mapped for a wide …

The increasing role of hadron therapy, and particularly of proton therapy, in cancer treatment
requires dosimetric characterization of luminescent detectors in heavy charged particle …

Abstract Background: The IAEA/WHO postal dose audit programme has been operating
since 1969 with the aim of improving the accuracy and consistency of dosimetry in …

This study compares the practicality of Ge-doped silica optical fibres as a potential remote
dosimeter for radiotherapy postal dosimetry audit in non-reference conditions with a …

Purpose Interventional radiology techniques cause radiation exposure both to patient and
personnel. The radiation dose to the operator is usually measured with dosimeters located …

Abstract Radiophotoluminescence (RPL) FD-7 glass dosimeters find applications in low to
high dose radiation environments. This work presents an experimental characterization of …

We developed an efficient postal audit system to independently assess the delivered dose
using radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeters (RPLDs) and the positional differences of …

Currently, the uncontrolled exposure of individuals to X-rays during medical examinations
represents a substantial danger that threatens both medical professionals and patients …
