Abstract

If the first decade of the new millennium saw the establishment of a more solid foundation for the use of the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) in medical dosimetry, the second decade saw the technique take root and become more widely used in clinical studies. Recent publications report not only characterization and feasibility studies of the OSL technique for various applications in radiotherapy and radiology, but also the practical use of OSL for postal audits, estimation of staff dose, in vivo dosimetry, dose verification and dose mapping studies. This review complements previous review papers and reports on the topic, providing a panorama of the new advances and applications in the last decade. Attention is also dedicated to potential future applications, such as LET dosimetry, 2D/3D dosimetry using OSL, dosimetry in magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT) and dosimetry of extremely high dose rates (FLASH therapy).

光激发发光在医疗剂量学中的应用

摘要

如果新千年的前十年为在医学剂量测定中使用光激发发光（OSL）建立了更坚实的基础，那么第二个十年见证了该技术的扎根并在临床研究中得到了更广泛的应用。最近的出版物不仅报告了OSL技术在放射治疗和放射学中的各种应用的特性和可行性研究，而且报告了OSL在邮政审核，人员剂量估算，体内剂量测定，剂量验证和剂量图研究中的实际应用。这篇评论是对该主题以前的评论论文和报告的补充，提供了过去十年中新进展和应用的全景。还应注意未来的潜在应用，例如LET剂量测定，使用OSL的2D / 3D剂量测定，
