Article Synopsis
- Radiotherapy accidents often arise from planning issues, excessive irradiation, or patient movement, mainly due to the inability to monitor radiation exposure directly during treatment.
- The article presents a new real-time radiation exposure dosimetry system utilizing synthetic ruby, which showed a strong correlation between monitor units and photon counts, with a high accuracy under various irradiation conditions.
- While some discrepancies were noted between the synthetic ruby and ion chamber dosimeters, the overall results suggest that the new dosimeter can effectively measure patient irradiation doses in real time, although further assessment is needed for the identified issues.
