Polymer Gel Dosimeters with Increased Solubility: A Preliminary Investigation of the NMR and Optical Dose‐Response Using Different Crosslinkers and Co‐Solvents
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Summary: The potential of ten different crosslinkers was investigated, with the aim of improving the performance of polymer gel dosimeters used for detecting radiation dose distributions generated by cancer radiation therapy equipment. Unfortunately, none of the candidate crosslinkers was shown to be more effective than N,N′‐methylene‐bisacrylamide, the standard crosslinker used in polymer gel dosimetry applications. Two co‐solvents, glycerol and isopropanol, were used to increase the solubility of N,N′‐methylene‐bisacrylamide crosslinker in polymer gel dosimeter recipes. Using isopropanol, the crosslinker solubility increased from approximately from 3 to 10% by weight, enabling the manufacture of polymer gel dosimeters with much higher levels of crosslinking than was previously possible. The new dosimeter recipes can be imaged effectively using nuclear magnetic resonance and optical techniques, and may be suitable for read‐out using x‐ray CT (Computed Tomography).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
