摘要: Abstract Polymer gel dosimeters have specific advantages for recording 3D radiation dose distribution in diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications. But, even systems where the structure is usually maintained long periods of time after irradiation, it still not possible to eliminate diffusion different species regions gradients within gel. As a consequence, information loses quality over time. In pursuit solution improve understanding this phenomenon novel system based on itaconic acid N-N′-methylene-bisacrylamide (BIS) hereby proposed. Effects changes chemical monomers dosimetric sensitivity post-irradiation was studied. study, one carboxylic groups molecule modified with aniline obtain molecules similar reactivity but molecular sizes. Then, these original ITA were irradiated an X-ray tomography apparatus at doses up 173 Gy. Afterwards, resulting characterized by Raman spectroscopy optical absorbance order study their feasibility capabilities as systems, optical-CT analyze post irradiation diffusion.
