Effects of liner energy transfer (LET) and dose rate on the optical property of polymer gel dosimeters were investigated. The dosimeter prepared by using a radiation-crosslinked hydroxypropyl cellulose gel and methacrylate monomers such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and nonaethylene glycol dimethacrylate showed the color change from colorless to white with the He, C, Fe ions irradiation. Absorbance of the irradiated dosimeters increased with the dose up to 10 Gy. The absorbance of the dosimeters at the same total dose decreased with increasing dose rate in the range of 0.1 to 6.8 Gy/min. The absorbance decreased in order of He, C, Fe ions, which was in agreement with a change of LET. The increase in LET affected the decrease in the number of polymerization initiator such as OH radical and hydrated electron, resulting in the reduction of the absorbance of the dosimeters.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:79.08(Engineering, Biomedical)Polymer gel dosimeters based on radiation-crosslinked hydroxypropyl cellulose gel were prepared, which comprised 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (9G) as less toxic monomers and tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphoniumu chloride (THPC) as an antioxidant. The dosimeters exposed to Co -rays became cloudy at only 1 Gy. The irradiated dosimeters were optically analyzed by using a UV-vis spectrophotometer to evaluate dose response. Absorbance of the dosimeters linearly increased in the dose range from 0 to 10 Gy. The dose sensitivity increased with increasing 9G concentration. The dosimeter with 2 wt% HEMA, 3 wt% 9G, and 0.16 wt% THPC exhibited about 0.04 Abs Gy of the dose sensitivity. The dose sensitivity of the dosimeters was also enhanced by increment in THPC, reached about 0.06 Abs Gy at 0.40 wt% THPC.

The polymer gel dosimeters consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, nonaethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphoniumu chloride with radiation-crosslinked hydroxypropyl cellulose gel were irradiated with 290 MeV/u C ions at HIMAC. Absorbance of the irradiated dosimeters at 660 nm increased with an increase in the dose up to 10 Gy. The dose response of the dosimeter irradiated with C ions was about 0.007 Abs. Gy, which decreased in about one-tenth of the -irradiated sample. RGB value of the image obtained by using a flat-bed image scanner also increased with increasing dose. Distribution of the dose estimated from RGB value of the scanned image was almost agreement with that of a general radiochromic film for the radiotherapy.
