Development of gel dosimetry for radiotherapy

Gel dosimeters have the potential to track radiation beams, improving safety and treatment effectiveness for radiotherapy patients, however despite extensive research over the last three decades, gel dosimeters have yet to achieve widespread clinical acceptance. In this research, a new version of the ‘Fricke’ gel dosimeter was developed which is more clinically viable. The method performs chemical manipulations on the gel ingredients to eliminate the blurring effect of dose information, which is their primary drawback
