| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ultraviolet (UV) rays strength of Gafchromic EBT2 (EBT2) were investigated. It has previously been suggested that UV rays can be used as a substitute for the X-ray double-exposure technique to correct non-uniformity errors when using EBT2. Ultra violet-A rays having a wavelength of 375 nm was used to irradiate Gafchromic EBT2 for various time durations, and the resulting density change was investigated. A UV light-emitting diode that generates UV-A of 375 nm was used to irradiate the EBT2 film with varying durations of 1 to 30 min. A circular region of interest of 0.5 inches diameter was set by the irradiation area, and a histogram of pixel values was created. The choice of conditions was decided based on two important requirements: first, there is no zero values mode and seconds, the 1/10 level intersects both axes of the graph. In the case of Gafchromic EBT2, the irradiation dose was 170.86 mJ/cm2 for 2 min, with a pixel value of mean 573.47 ± 251.43.
