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 $$^{60}$$Co $$gamma$$-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$$^{-1}$$ of the dose sensitivity. The dose sensitivity of the dosimeters was also enhanced by increment in THPC, reached about 0.06 Abs Gy$$^{-1}$$ 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$$^{-1}$$, which decreased in about one-tenth of the $$gamma$$-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.
