62- Dosimetric characteristics of VIPAR polymer gel for photon, electron and proton beams

Introduction. In the past few years, the development of complex radiotherapy techniques has led to the development of new dosimetric detectors based on gel, such as Fricke or polymer gels, to enhance quality control. They are able to provide 3D absorbed dose distributions with a good spatial resolution for photon radiotherapy treatment, but additional studies are needed for protontherapy. The gel studied in this work must take into account the irradiation conditions and the reading mode. The great sensibility of VIPAR gel in high dose range [ 1 Kozicki et al.
