Preliminary investigation of the dosimetric properties of ClearView™ dosimeter

ClearView (TM) is a single-use radiochromic 3D dosimeter designed by Modus Medical Devices Inc. Some of the dosimetric characteristics of this gel, such as response as a function of dose and as a function of energy were investigated. Moreover, a 400 mL jar was irradiated with a 1x1 cm(2) field and PDD and cross-profiles were compared to those obtained with active detectors. Small volumes of gels were found to exhibit a linear response to dose in the dose range 10-80 Gy. Promising PDD and cross profiles were obtained. Artefacts obtained in high resolution for the PDD are suspected to come from small inhomogeneities in the gel.
