New Radiochromic Gel for 3D Dosimetry Based on Turnbull Blue: Basic Properties

Original language description

The recently developed new radiochromic gel dosimeter based on Turnbull blue dye being formed upon irradiation (the TBG dosimeter) does not exhibit dose pattern degradation due to diffusion effects as observed in the Fricke-gel dosimeter with xylenol orange incorporated into gel matrix (the FXG dosimeter). The preparation procedure is described along with basic characteristics of the gel, including dose response, dose sensitivity, aging at different storing conditions, diffusion rates of Turnbull blue,and gel density. The measurement of diffusion is described in more detail. Although the TBG dosimeter is less sensitive than the FXG dosimeter, its diffusion coefficient is practically negligible and, therefore, it offers large potential as a three dimensional dosimeter for applications encompassing sharp dose gradients such as high-dose-rate brachytherapy.
