  • SSPM-based optical fiber radiation dosimeter

    Creator:
    Konnoff, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Current state-of-the-art environmental, clinical, and in-vivo radiation sensing systems utilizing various inorganic and tissue-equivalent plastic scintillators are not user friendly, suffer from electron-beam-generated noise, and are difficult to deploy successfully for real-time dosimetry. A robust, real-time detection system using different scintillating materials coupled to solid-state detectors by optical fibers is...

  • Characterization of a fiber optic coupled dosimeter for clinical electron beam dosimetry

    Creator:
    Nitzling, Kevin Dave
    Abstract:
    Fiber-optic-coupled dosimeters (FOCDs) are a relatively new method in which to obtain in-vivo dose concomitant with radiation treatment. Accurate live dosing can be achieved virtually anywhere due to their small dimensions (0.2 mm) which can be accommodated by a catheter. The purpose of this experiment is to characterize the electron...
