Semiconductor dosimeters are ubiquitous in modern external-beam radiation therapy. They
possess key features. The response, electronically available in real time, is stable and linear …

The error types during brachytherapy (BT) treatments and their occurrence rates are not well
known. The limited knowledge is partly attributed to the lack of independent verification …

Abstract In 1982, when Richard Klein first became one of the Editors of this journal, the
luminescence dating community was embarking on a new phase of exploratory research …

Synchrotron facilities produce ultra-high dose rate X-rays that can be used for selective
cancer treatment when combined with micron-sized beams. Synchrotron microbeam …

FLASH radiotherapy, which refers to the delivery of radiation at ultra-high dose-rates
(UHDRs), has been demonstrated with various forms of radiation and is the subject of …

Use is made of 50 μm high purity graphite foils, investigating the potential of these in
evaluation of dose in dermal and epithelial layers, measuring the thermoluminescence yield …

This study was carried out to investigate the suitability of using the optically stimulated
luminescence dosimeter (OSLD) in measuring surface dose during radiotherapy. The water …

Rectal balloons are used in external beam prostate radiotherapy to provide reproducible
anatomy and rectal dose reductions. This is an investigation into the combination of a …

The direct detection of 5-MeV protons by flexible organic detectors based on thin films is
here demonstrated. The organic devices act as a solid-state detector, in which the energy …

In vivo dosimetry is important during radiotherapy to ensure the accuracy of the dose
delivered to the treatment volume. A dosimeter should be characterized based on its …
