Selecting the right dosimeter is key

Modern irradiation fields get smaller, the intensity and shape can be modulated over time, and it is now possible to use multiple treatment modalities for more personalized cancer treatments.

The introduction of these new techniques enables medical physicists to conduct exciting new projects in radiotherapy. Though opportunities are real, developing or finding the right dosimeter to match the performance of this modern equipment can be a challenge, especially in a time-limited context.

The expertise to supply tailor-made solutions

With a modular platform and unparalleled expertise and skills in medical physics, dosimetry, optics and photonics technologies, Medscint develops, manufactures and delivers value-added dosimetry solutions in line with the core of your research project objectives.

Scintillation Dosimetry

Scintillation Detectors

When excited by ionizing radiation, a scintillator has the particularity to emit an optical photon source proportionally to the received energy within nanoseconds.

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 fibre.

Plastic Scintillation Detectors

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.

With its innovative hyperspectral approach, Medscint is the leader in plastic scintillation dosimetry solutions
