The electromagnetic spectrum contains different frequency bands useful for medical imaging
and therapy. Short wavelengths (ionizing radiation) are commonly used for radiological and …

The objective of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the advancements and
techniques in real time two-dimensional (2D) dosimetry for external radiation therapy with …

Recent studies have proposed that light emitted by the Cherenkov effect may be used for a
number of radiation therapy dosimetry applications. There is a correlation between the …

Purpose: Proton therapy has the ability to selectively deliver a dose to the target tumor, so
the dose distribution should be accurately measured by a precise and efficient method. The …

Purpose: The authors previously reported successful luminescence imaging of water during
proton irradiation and its application to range estimation. However, since the feasibility of …

There is increasing interest in using Cerenkov emissions for quality assurance and in vivo
dosimetry in photon and electron therapy. Here, we investigate the production of Cerenkov …

Purpose. In this study, spatio-temporal beam profiling for electron ultra-high dose rate
(UHDR;> 40 Gy s− 1) radiation via Cherenkov emission and radioluminescence imaging …

We investigate the feasibility of proton therapy dose measurement by using scintillation of a
bare silica glass fiber. The emission spectra of the optical fiber at various depths in tissue …

Purpose In this article, we evaluate a plastic scintillation detector system for quality
assurance in proton therapy using a BC‐408 plastic scintillator, a commercial camera, and a …

It is widely believed that light is not emitted in water during irradiation of radiation at energies
lower than the Cherenkov light threshold. Contrary to this consensus, we discovered that …
