Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters
(OSLD) are practical, accurate, and precise tools for point dosimetry in medical physics …

Purpose: Recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)
and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) on dose calculations for …

Purpose This aim of this review paper was to present information on brachytherapy
phantoms developed over the last 20 years. It offers a starting point for designing new …

Several solid phantom materials have been tested regarding their suitability as water
substitutes for dosimetric measurements in brachytherapy with 192 Ir as a typical high …

Purpose: High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a treatment method that is used
increasingly worldwide. The development of a sound quality assurance program for the …

There is an acknowledged need for the design and implementation of physical phantoms
appropriate for the experimental validation of model-based dose calculation algorithms …

Abstract For High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy Quality Assurance (QA), we propose a
seed position verification method by using two GaN dosimetric probes integrated in an …

The stochastic nature of ionizing radiation interactions causes a microdosimetric spread in
energy depositions for cell or cell nucleus-sized volumes. The magnitude of the spread may …

A dosimetry system using lithium formate monohydrate as detector material and electron
paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy for readout has been used to measure …

Background There is increased interest in in vivo dosimetry for 192Ir brachytherapy (BT)
treatments using high atomic number (Z) inorganic scintillators. Their high light output …
