Polymer gel dosimeters are fabricated from radiation sensitive chemicals which, upon
irradiation, polymerize as a function of the absorbed radiation dose. These gel dosimeters …

Gel dosimetry was developed in the 1990s in response to a growing need for methods to
validate the radiation dose distribution delivered to cancer patients receiving high-precision …

This topical review provides an up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical aspects
of therapeutic kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry. Kilovoltage x-ray beams have the property …

Recently, ion beam radiotherapy (including protons as well as heavier ions) gained
considerable interest. Although ion beam radiotherapy requires dose prescription in terms of …

Accurate dose measurement tools are needed to evaluate the radiation dose delivered to
patients by using modern and sophisticated radiation therapy techniques. However, the …

The gamma ray mass attenuation coefficients of ten synthetic polymeric materials, namely,
