In this study, polymer-gel dosimeters containing N-(Hydroxymethyl) acrylamide (NHMA) with different concentrations of potassium chloride (KCl) were developed and introduced for use in radiotherapy. The gels were irradiated with a megavolt X-ray photon beam up to 10 Gy using a medical linear accelerator. The irradiated NHMA_KCl dosimeters were evaluated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), in terms of relaxation rate (R2). The results show that the dose sensitivity of polymer gel was improved by 33% when KCl concentration was increased from 0 to 1.9 wt%. The decrease in R2 values with increasing scanning temperature was 1.6% per °C at 6 Gy. The dosimeter was found stable within a period of 2–120 h after irradiation and is independent of dose-rate in the range of 50–600 cGy/min and independent of photon beam energy between 6 and 15 MV within 7.5% overall uncertainty.

使用氯化钾进行放射治疗的N-(羟甲基)丙烯酰胺凝胶剂量计的性能改善

在这项研究中,开发了含有N-(羟甲基)丙烯酰胺(NHMA)和不同浓度的氯化钾(KCl)的聚合物凝胶剂量计,并将其引入放射治疗。使用医用线性加速器用高达10 Gy的兆伏X射线光子束辐照凝胶。通过核磁共振(NMR)以弛豫率(R 2)评估辐照的NHMA_KCl剂量计。结果表明,当KCl浓度从0增加到1.9 wt%时,聚合物凝胶的剂量敏感性提高了33%。R 2的减少扫描温度升高时,在6 Gy时,每°C的数值为1.6%。发现剂量计在辐照后2–120 h内稳定,并且与剂量率在50–600 cGy / min范围内无关,并且与在7%总体不确定性范围内6至15 MV之间的光子束能量无关。
