What Technologies and Tools Are Used in Dosimetry?
Several technologies and tools are employed in dosimetry, including:
Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs): Measure the amount of ionizing radiation exposure by detecting light emitted from a crystal in the detector when heated. Ionization Chambers: Measure ionizing radiation by collecting charge created by ion pairs in a gas-filled chamber. Film Dosimetry: Uses photographic film to measure and record radiation dose distribution. Electronic Portal Imaging Devices (EPIDs): Provide real-time imaging to verify the correct delivery of radiation therapy.
