Current Study Suggests Further Development Needed for NIPAM-based Gel Dosimetry with X-Ray CT Imaging in Radiation Therapy Applications

Abstract

Asghar Mesbahi*

Polymer gel dosimetry is a technique that is used to measure the radiation dose in three-dimensional space. This technique uses a gel that is sensitive to radiation and can be used to create a detailed map of the dose distribution within a volume of tissue. The gel used in polymer gel dosimetry is typically made up of a water-based solution containing a radiation-sensitive polymer.
