Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Gafchromic films are increasingly being used for dosimetry in medical and industrial applications of ionizing radiation because of their favorable characteristics such as self developing in nature, easy to handle, dose rate independent response, insensitivity to normal room lights, high resolution and insensitivity to variation in the environment conditions. The dosimetry measurements using Gafchromic EBT film, Fricke dosimeter and thermoluminescence (TL) dosimeter were carried out on gamma blood irradiators to establish the suitability of Gafchromic EBT film in such applications. The dose rates determined by Gafchromic EBT film, Fricke dosimeter and TL dosimeter powder are found in good agreement to one another within the uncertainty of measurement. The two-dimensional dose distributions determined using Gafchromic EBT film reflects the expected dose distribution inside the sample compartment of the blood irradiator. The results of this study establish Gafchromic EBT film a suitable dosimeter for routine dosimetry on gamma blood irradiators. |
