Accurate absorbed dose estimation is essential for radiotherapy and research. In ultra-high dose-rate (FLASH) beams, ~Gy doses are delivered in a few pulses, so small perturbations can bias monitoring. Beam current transformers (BCTs) are widely used for FLAS...
The Liberty Vision Y-90 ophthalmic applicator (LV-90) is an FDA approved HDR source for episcleral brachytherapy to treat ocular tumors and benign growths. It is an attractive option for patients because it does not require episcleral sutures, muscle relocati...
Accurate absorbed dose determination for alpha emitting sources remains challenging due to short particle ranges and sensitivity to source geometry. This work presents a practical framework for direct absorbed dose to water measurements from a plated 241Am so...
