Description

Measuring radiation exposure has long been a priority in radiation therapy. Over the last 115 years numerous chemical-based dosimeters have been developed to measure radiation exposure. These dosimeters contain either metal complexes or leuco dyes. Among the factors which influence dose sensitivity and color stability in leuco dye based dosimeters are chemical structure and the solvent content in the formulation. (paper)
