Investigation of the impact of ionizing radiation on the physico-chemical properties of microparticles in view of non-invasive dosimetry KU Leuven
The research in this PhD covers two dosimeters systems. First, an existing commercial radiochromic radiation dosimeter, and second, a novel non-invasive in-vivo dosimeter system based on ultrasound contrast agents.
The first part of the research focuses on GafChromic EBT3 films which become increasingly dark when exposed to ionising radiation. The darkening originates from the formation of light-absorbing diacetylene polymers in the ...
