Abstract

Because of the lower electron density in lung-tissue the radiation induced interactions occur at different spatial scales as compared to water-density equivalent tissue. As a result, the dose distribution in lung can not be verified with the existing polymer gel dosimeters. In this paper, a lung-tissue equivalent gel dosimeter is proposed. The gel is basically a foamed polymer gel with a density between 0.25 and 0.35 kg/dm³.
