A new highly sensitive compact laser based OSL reader − application in medical dosimetry
A highly sensitive compact laser based Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) reader has been developed. The system consists of compact (matchbox size) lasers of 473 and 532 nm wavelength respectively having optical power 350 mW each. The dark counts of the system were found to be 30–40 cps, which is on par with LED (Light Emitting Diode) based commercial Riso reader. The minimum detectable dose of the developed system was found to be 147 μGy using LiCaAlF6:Eu,Y dosimeter (3 mm dia) under 450 nm stimulation for one sec data acquisition as compared to 260 μGy with Riso reader. The sensitivity of the developed system was found to be nearly 2 times to that of the commercial Riso reader. The instrument will be useful for OSL phosphor research and dose verification in quality audit of radiotherapy. The design aspects of the developed reader system and the dosimetric characterization are discussed with its possible application in medical dosimetry.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
