  • Device for determining a deposited dose and associated method
    Patent number: 10386499
    Abstract: A device for determining a dose deposited in a scintillator by an ionizing radiation, comprises: a scintillator configured to be irradiated by the ionizing radiation and capable of emitting scintillation photons during interaction with the ionizing radiation; a measurement device comprising a single photodetector, the photodetector being a low-noise photodetector, the determination device being configured in such a way that the photodetector functions in single photon counting mode, the photodetector supplying, at the output of same, a measurement of the total intensity of light received by the photodetector from the scintillator; and an analyzer configured to determine a dose deposited in the scintillator by the ionizing radiation from the total intensity alone of light measured by the photodetector and a predetermined constant dependent only on the scintillator, the light output of the determination device and the type of ionizing radiation.
