  • Determination of radiation dosimetry
    Patent number: 11300690
    Abstract: The present invention describes a dosimetry system for use in an irradiation system for radiology or radiotherapy. The dosimetry system comprises an at least two dimensional, radioluminescent, irradiation detection surface comprising radiosensitive material, the radiosensitive material having radioluminescent properties. The system also comprises a detection system configured for detecting radioluminescent radiation from the at least two-dimensional detection surface upon irradiation with a radiology or radiotherapy irradiating beam. The detection system comprises a detector sensitive for radioluminescence and a filter for at least partially blocking radiation from said radiology or radiotherapy irradiating beam and ambient light.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2022
    Assignee: SCK-CEN
    Inventors: Luana De Freitas Nascimento, Filip Vanhavere, Lara Struelens, Mark Akselrod
  • Mask for radiation dosimetry
    Patent number: 11207545
    Abstract: The present invention describes a membrane mask for immobilization of a region of interest during radiation therapy. The mask comprises at least one material forming a matrix, and at least one radiation-sensitive material integrated as micro- or nano-sized material elements in or onto the matrix. The radiation-sensitive material advantageously provides the possibility of using the mask for performing dosimetry. Use of the mask and a method for performing dosimetry also are described.
