Abstract
Polymer gel dosimetry offers great potential for volumetric measurements of dose distributions from complex radiotherapy treatment modalities. In order to assess the quality of a gel dosimeter to be used for radiotherapy dosimetry, a number of properties, such as dose resolution, temporal and spatial stability, beam quality dependence, dose rate dependence, and temperature dependence during manufacturing, irradiation and read out should be characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate the dose integration properties for a methacrylic acid based normoxic polymer gel dosimeter. The effect of sequential irradiation was investigated for different fractionation schemes and varying amounts of methacrylic acid (MAA).
