Abstract
Described herein is a biocompatible injectable dosimeter. The injectable dosimeter comprises a polymer gel and a radiation dosimeter material distributed in the polymer gel. The dosimeter material in the injectable dosimeter, when radiated, generates a dosimetric signal, which can be used to evaluate the delivery of the radiation. Also described are methods of using the injectable dosimeter, such as to report radiation in real-time and to protect tissues adjacent to the disease sites being irradiated.
Claims28
An injectable dosimeter composition comprising:
- a polymer gel;
- and
- a radiation dosimeter material distributed in at least a portion of the polymer gel,
- wherein the radiation dosimeter material generates a dosimetric signal in response to a radiation applied to the polymer gel, and
- wherein the injectable dosimeter composition is biocompatible.
