Liquid scintillator for 3D dosimetry for radiotherapy modalities
A liquid scintillator detector for three-dimensional dosimetric measurement of a radiation beam is provided wherein a volumetric phantom liquid scintillator is exposed to the radiation beam to produce light that is captured by the cameras that provide a three-dimensional image of the beam.
1. A liquid scintillator detector for three-dimensional dosimetric measurement of a radiation beam comprising: a substantially transparent three-dimensional volumetric phantom liquid scintillator; and at least two cameras, wherein the three-dimensional volumetric phantom liquid scintillator is exposed to the radiation beam to produce light that is simultaneously captured by the cameras that provide a three-dimensional image of the beam.
2. The liquid scintillator detector of claim 1 , wherein the image is further processed to create three-dimensional dosage distributions.
3. The liquid scintillator detector of claim 1 , wherein one of the cameras is disposed orthogonally to the other.
4. The liquid scintillator of claim 1 , wherein the volumetric phantom comprises at least 125 cm3 of liquid scintillator.
5. The liquid scintillator detector of claim 1 , wherein the at least two cameras are high-speed CCD cameras.
