Characterization of phenolic pellets for ESR dosimetry in photon beam radiotherapy
2017
This work deals with the dosimetric features of a particular phenolic compound (IRGANOX 1076 ® ) for dosimetry of clinical photon beams by using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. After the optimization of the ESR readout parameters (namely modulation amplitude and microwave power) to maximise the signal without excessive spectrum distortions, basic dosimetric properties of laboratory-made phenolic dosimeters in pellet form, such as reproducibility, dose–response, sensitivity, linearity and dose rate dependence were investigated. The dosimeters were tested by measuring the depth dose profile of a 6 MV photon beam. A satisfactory intra-batch reproducibility of the ESR signal of the …

Abstract Purpose Among the various dosimetric techniques used for characterizing the radiation beams used in radiation therapy, the electron spin resonance (ESR) arouses increasing interest for applications in various therapy procedures. In this work we report the ESR investigation of particular phenol compounds exposed to clinical photon and electron beams [1] . Materials and methods Pellets were produced by mixing Phenol (IRGANOX 1076® Sigma Aldrich) and paraffin (10% by weight). The irradiations of dosimeters were performed with photon and electron beams with absorbed doses ranging from 0 to 13 Gy. Basic dosimetric properties of phenolic dosimeters, such as reproducibility, dose-response…
