Abstract

A nanoclay-based radio-fluorogenic gel (NC-RFG) was used to verify the source position and dose distribution in high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. The dose response confirmed linearity up to 60 Gy. The source position could be detected with an accuracy of ≤0.3 mm, and the dose distribution near the Ir-192 source showed good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulation. NC-RFG can be expected to be a quality assurance tool suitable for the evaluating the dose distribution in HDR brachytherapy.
