Description
Gel dosimeters have the potential to track radiation beams, improving safety and treatment effectiveness for radiotherapy patients, however despite extensive research over the last three decades, gel dosimeters have yet to achieve widespread clinical acceptance. In this research, a new version of the ‘Fricke’ gel dosimeter was developed which is more clinically viable. The method performs chemical manipulations on the gel ingredients to eliminate the blurring effect of dose information, which is their primary drawback.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
