Scintillation Detectors

When excited by ionizing radiation, a scintillator has the particularity to emit an optical photon source proportionally to the received energy within nano seconds. An effective way to extract the dose deposition information within the scintillator volume is to funnel the photon beam to a precision measurement system via an optical fiber.

Plastic Scintillation Detector

Plastic scintillators are formed by putting fluorescent substances such as terphenyl into polystyrene as solid solutions, and have the advantage of being able to make various sizes and shapes due to their good processability. The plastic scintillator material used by Medscint is water-equivalent, meaning it doesn’t interfere with ionizing radiation during the energy deposition process. This key advantage makes it the ideal dose detector for a multitude of modalities including electron and photon MV as it provides dose measurement as if it is deposited in water.

HS-RP200

A fast, multi-point-ready and versatile turnkey dosimetry tool leveraging all advantages of plastic scintillators. This real-time detector is the solution for accurate and non-perturbing measurements, making it the perfect choice for time-resolved dosimetry of motion / gated applications (such as adaptive MR-LINAC), small field dosimetry and other challenging research projects.

HS-RP100

A high-speed plastic scintillation dosimetry solution developed for ultra-high dose rate and ultra-high speed irradiation modalities, such as FLASH-RT. Once cross-calibrated in the known conditions of a standard LINAC, it precisely measures the dose per pulse, the average dose rate and the integrated dose, all at once. It also effectively removes the stem effect to precisely measure dose in various conditions including ultra-high dose rate modalities
