Optical images of dose distributions in Gel-Fricke: dosimetric performances of the gel.

The purpose of this work was to examine the dosimetric performances of the radiochromic Fricke-Agarose-Xylenol Orange gel by optical measurements in order to perform dose reconstructions, in view of a future development for 3-D maps. Optical images and dose-response curves of the gel were obtained by a CCD-based device, originally designed for reading radiochromic films, that was modified to meet the optical properties of the dosemeter. With a resolution of 0.18 x 0.18 mm the optimum range of doses in which per cent uncertainty is lower than 2% was 3-10 Gy. The minimum detectable dose, estimated as the absorbed dose corresponding to 3 SD above background, was 0.1 Gy. With a resolution of 1.98 x 1.98 mm the optimum range of doses in which per cent uncertainty is lower than 2% was 0.3-10 Gy. The minimum detectable dose, estimated as the absorbed dose corresponding to 3 SD above background, was 0.015 Gy. The comparison with alanine dosemeters in the dose range 7-10 Gy showed agreement within a few per cent and the same agreement was observed for the comparison with TLD in the range 1-3 Gy.
