Radioluminescence

Online dosimetry, in vivo dosimetry

Radioluminescence

Luminescence emitted during exposure to ionizing radiation can be employed for online dosimetry, e.g. in brachytherapy.

  • Al2O3:C or BeO attached to optical fibres for online dosimetry can serve simultaneously as passive dosimeter
