Abstract
This research investigated machine learning (ML) for improving dosimeter reading accuracy under new operational quantities from ICRU 95. Qulxel, InLight, and OSLN dosimeters were irradiated with various photon energies, angles, and accumulated doses. Two ML models were developed: ML1 bases on K-means clustering and linear regression, and ML2 with random forest regression. Both models improved dosimeter reading accuracy compared to the existing algorithm, especially for low-energy photons. ML2, using key features for predictive dose reading, outperformed ML1. The study suggests that machine learning can be a valuable tool for enhancing dosimeter reading and connecting existing quantities to new quantities smoothly.
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.
