Dosimeter for a miniature energy transducer for emitting X-ray radiation

摘要: A dosimeter for an x-ray brachytherapy system permits in situ monitoring and control of radiation treatment via a miniaturized energy transducer within human body. The comprises scintillating optical fiber having distal end which is placed at the site proximal coupled to measurement unit. Utilizing supplied by source, generates photons. absorbs photons, converts photons into light conveys are converted electrical current representative intensity unit utilizes calculate display instantaneous accumulated dose, dose parameters utilized adjust levels, sent miniature transducer. Use combination with eliminates most problems related methods based on use radioactive sources offers method efficient, accurate, controllable treatment.
