Direct skin radiation dose measurement system with quantitative optical read-out

摘要

Colour changing materials sensitive to UV or ionizing radiation (i.e. radiochromic) are used oin a flexible adhesive patch attached to the skin. Calibration regions are included in addition to at least one functional cell. A camera is used to capture images of the function in addition to any calibration reference regions. An algorithm converts a digital picture obtained into a dose map of the functional colour changing region of the patch, providing in-vivo real time dosimetry.
