Abstract
Calibrated radiochromic dye films were used to measure depth-dose profiles and lateral absorbed dose distributions in several irridiated media. Measurements were made in carbon, aluminum, polystyrene, and beef muscle irradiated by incident electrons of about 10 MeV. The dye-film dosimeters were placed within the media in several geometrical configurations. In one arrangement, the dosimeters were used to integrate the dose distribution within the volume of irradiated beef packages. These measurements show a significant variation on dose near the lateral edges of the medium. The experimental depth-dose distributions are compared with Monte Carlo calculations and with reported experimental measurements. These data are of interest in radiation effects studies, radiation processing, and diagnostic and therapeutic radiology.
