Abstract

Real-Time dosimetry with optical fibre can add to the range of dosimeters available for proton therapy applications. Perfluorinated fibre has demonstrated linearity in radiation-induced attenuation with doses delivered at different energies and it has shown to be highly sensitive and dependent on the wavelength of the probing light source with its highest sensitivity obtained at a wavelength of 460 nm This paper presents the potential of perfluorinated polymer fibre in proton dosimetry applications.
