Optical Stimulated Luminescence Dosimetry
Research summary
A commercial OSL dosimetry system is investigated for passive in-vivo dosimetry in radiation therapy. Al2O3:C OSLDs have been characterized by various authors and researchers, however an AAPM protocol for its clinical use is still in progress. In this work, a system of nanoDots with the microStar reader (Landauer Inc.) is tested on typical radiotherapy beams in our clinic. The goal is to fully characterize the system and determine all the necessary correction factors for accurate patient dose measurements. The system will be validated as an alternative to the already established in vivo dosimetry methods in our clinic.
