Gated Optical Detectors-Dose Guided Radiotherapy

我们已经获得了一个闪烁探测器，可以补偿切伦科夫辐射。该系统（于2019年4月交付）的探测器直径为1 mm，长度为1 mm。虽然不像OSL探测器那么小，但应足以精确测量4 mm直径立体定向锥的输出。该探测器的另一个优点是它与我们的IBA Blue Phantom II扫描水体模兼容。由于其他紧迫的工作，我们预计将于2023年秋季开始测量。我们的机械师意外去世，使这项工程中断了。COVID-19限制已经取消，机械车间改造现已完成，我们正在聘请一位具有机械车间经验的生物医学工程师来运行它。之后，我们将重新评估该项目，以确定如何最好地进行。

We have acquired a scintillation detector that compensates for Cerenkov radiation. This system (which was delivered in April, 2019) has a detector that has a 1mm diameter with a 1mm length. While not as small as the OSL detector, it should be adequate for accurate output measurements of a 4mm diameter stereotactic cone. The additional advantage of this detector is that it is compatible with our IBA Blue Phantom II scanning water phantom. Due to other pressing work, we expect to begin measurements in the Fall of 2023. The loss of our machinist, who unexpectedly died has halted work on this project. COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted, machine shop renovations are now complete and we are in the process of hiring a biomedical engineer with machine shop experience to run it. Afterwards, we will re-evaluate this project to determine how best to proceed.
