This work considers the feasibility of using a novel optical fiber-based sensor, employing a
terbium-doped gadolinium oxysulfide (Gd2O2S: Tb) inorganic scintillator, as a real-time in …

As the technology to deliver precise and very high radiotherapeutic doses with narrow
margins grows to better serve patients with complex radiotherapeutic needs, so does the …

In recent years, proton therapy has gained importance as a cancer treatment modality due to
its conformality with the tumor and the sparing of healthy tissue. However, in the interaction …

Scintillation-based fiber dosimeters are a powerful tool for minimally invasive localized real-
time monitoring of the dose rate during Low Dose Rate (LDR) and High Dose Rate (HDR) …

In proton therapy, the dose from secondary neutrons to the patient can contribute to side
effects and the creation of secondary cancer. A simple and fast detection system to …

Optical fiber X-ray sensors are prone to over-response compared to ionization chambers
(ICs) when used to measure the percentage depth dose (PDD) curves and off axis ratio …

In this paper, two approaches have been adopted to optimize the design of optical fiber X-
ray sensors (OFXS). One approach involves using the hemisphere tip structure OFXS, while …
