초록
본 연구에서는 고 에너지 광자선을 조사 할 때, 선량보강 영영에서의 피부 선량률을 측정을 위해 유기 섬광체와 플라스틱 광섬유를 사용한 광섬유 방사선량계를 제작하였다. 광섬유 방사선량계의 센서부에서 발생된 섬광빛은 30 m 길이의 광섬유를 통해 전달되어 광증배관과 전류계로 측정된다. 광섬유 방사선량계로 측정한 선량보강 영역에서의 피부 선량률은 이온 전리함 및 GAFCHROMIC EBT 필름의 측정 결과와 비교 및 분석 하였다.
Abstract
In this study, we have fabricated a fiber-optic dosimeter using an organic scintillator and a plastic optical fiber. The dosimeter measure skin dose and percentage depth dose in a build-up region for an incident high energy photon beam. The scintillating light generated in the organic sensor probe embedded in a solid water phantom is guided by 30 m plastic optical fiber to a light-measuring device such as a PMT or an electrometer. In addition, using a fiber-optic dosimeter or a GAFCHROMIC EBT film, skin dose and percentage depth dose in the build-up region are measured and compared.
