Non-invasive in-situ radiation dosimetry

Non-invasive in-situ radiation dosimetry A system (1) for measuring radiation dose comprises an excitation device (4) adapted for directing an energy wave (5) at a volume of a substance comprising gas-filled microparticles (3), a detector (7) for detecting a response signal (6) emitted and/or modified from the volume of the substance (2) comprising gas-filled microparticles (3); and a control unit (8). The control unit (8) is adapted for calculating a dose of ionizing radiation previously received by the volume of the substance (2) based on the response signal (6). The invention also relates to a method for measuring a received dose of ionizing radiation and the use of the contrast agent (2) for non-invasive in-situ dosimetry. + FIG.
