Applications
In some deliveries of radiation therapy, the patient’s skin dose is often monitored. Sparing the skin effectively in radiation therapy can avoid complications such as skin reddening and fibrosis in the breast treatment, and therefore enhance the patient’s quality of life. Radiation dosimeter used in the measurement should be small, accurate, reliable and easy to set up. In particular, the dosimeter should be flexible to fit into the patient’s surface contour with curvature. A wireless small solid-state dosimeter or dosimeter array, which can be bended/curved for the patient’s surface contour, is desirable in the current real-time skin dose monitoring.
