Dosimetric performances of optically detected Fricke gel

Abstract

In this paper we investigate Fricke-gels for their possible use as 3D dosimeters. Two series of experiments are presented. The first one is aimed at examining dosimetric performances of the gel and is relative to uniform dose distributions; the second one is aimed at comparing dose distributions obtained with the gel with those obtained with point dosimeters. The dosimetric performances of the Fricke gel examined indicated that they are very promising for mapping 3D dose distributions with a high spatial resolution. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.
