| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Radiation-induced injury is a considerable problem in performing interventional radiology (IVR). One of the reasons for this injury is that the local skin dose cannot be monitored in real time. There are systems to measure the exposure dose; however, some of these cannot measure in real time, and some of the real-time measurement systems that enter the field of view interfere with the IVR.
The ruby scintillator is known to emit light in response to radiation. The emitted light, which is guided using an optical acrylic fiber, can be measured in terms of the number of photons using a photon counter unit in real time. We examined some basic characteristics of the system. The ruby used in this study did not interfere with the IVR. There was a strong correlation between the measured data and the change in the exposure dose condition. As a result,the local skin dose was obtained by dividing the number of photons. So, using the proposed system, the exposure dose can be measured in real time.
