Water equivalence of micelle gels for x-ray beams
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 09:46 authored by Gorjiara, T, Hill, R, Kuncic, Z, Bosi, S, Baldock, CMicelle gel is a radiochromic hydrogel with the potential to be used as a three dimensional (3D) radiation dosimeter. Since an ideal dosimeter should present water equivalent properties, in this study the water equivalence of two formulations of micelle gel has been investigated by calculating electron density, effective atomic number, fractional interaction probabilities, mass attenuation coefficient. The depth doses for kilovoltage and megavoltage x-ray beams have also modelled using Monte Carlo code. Based on the results of this work, micelle gels can be considered as water equivalent dosimeters.
