Abstract

The examination and development of practical and precise polymer gel systems for use in radiotherapy have gained prominence. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the radiological and dosimetric characteristics of the gels for their targeted application in therapeutic cases. The response of gel materials to energy beam interactions exhibits sensitivity variations, which are contingent on factors such as particle energy and dose rate. This sensitivity fluctuation holds substantial importance, particularly in the context of employing these gels for diverse medical applications. This comprehensive investigation delves into critical parameters, including sensitivity, the composition of compounds employed, energy dependency, and dose rate dependency in various gels based on methacrylic, acrylamide, AMPS, acrylic acid, and NIPAM. In this comprehensive investigation, the dosimetric properties of 62 gel formulations, grouped based on various criteria, were thoroughly examined. The study provides a detailed analysis, showcasing both the highest and lowest responses within each group and enabling meaningful comparisons.

期刊介绍： Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment. The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
