Dose distribution throughout the clinical organ range of motion was analyzed using a respiratory-motion simulator that was equipped with a polymer gel dosimeter and EBT2 film. The normoxic polymer gel dosimeter was synthesized from gelatin, MAA, HQ, THPC and HPLC. The gel dosimeter and EBT2 film were irradiated with Co-60 gamma rays that were moved along the x-axis and y-axis in ${\pm}1.5cm$ steps at five-second intervals. The field size was $5{\times}5cm^2$. The SSD was 80 cm and set to 10 Gy at a depth of 2 cm. The PDD at a depth of 50 mm was 75.2% in the ion chamber, 82.3% in the static state and 86.1% in the dynamic state in the gel dosimeter. The penumbra for the dynamic state target, which was measured using the gel dosimeter, averaged 10.89 mm, this is a 40.5% increase over the penumbra of the static state target of 7.74 mm. In addition, when measuring with gel dosimetry, the value for the penumbra is 36.6% smaller in the static state and 29.4% smaller in the dynamic state compared to measuring with film. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric properties of a normoxic polymethacrylic acid gel dosimeter in static and dynamic states and to evaluate the potentiality as a relative dosimeter for dynamic therapeutic radiation.

가설 설정
12) The penumbra area is the edge of the radiation beam, over which the dose rate changes rapidly as a function of distance from the beam axis.
제안 방법
The gel dosimeter and film were installed in a respiratory-motion simulator, and the dose distributions in the static and dynamic states were measured. After irradiation with Co-60 gamma rays, an image was obtained using MRI, and the percent depth dose and penumbra effect were analyzed.
2. Experimental setup of the Co-60 teletherapy unit with a gel dosimeter and a respiratory-motion simulator for static and dynamic dosimetry.
The preliminary investigations of a polymethacrylic acid gel for PDD, flatness, symmetry, and penumbra were performed in order to find its applicability to therapeutic dynamic targets.
대상 데이터
The polymer gel dosimeter presented the PDD with respect to the central axis for the image obtained using MRI. The PDD was presented in a range between 10 mm and 60 mm.
