(author), Thiele, Simon (author), Houter, Jacco (author), in het Zandt, Wilco (author)Radio-fluorogenic (RFG) gels become permanently fluorescent when exposed to high-energy radiation with the intensity of the emission proportional to the local dose of radiation absorbed. An apparatus is described, FluoroTome 1, that is capable of taking a series of tomographic images (thin slices) of the fluorescence of such an irradiated RFG...journal article 2019

Warman, J.M. (author), de Haas, M.P. (author), Luthjens, L.H. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Yao, T. (author)We review the development and application of an organic polymer-gel capable of producing fixed, three-dimensional fluorescent images of complex radiation fields. The gel consists for more than 99% of γ-ray-polymerized (~15% conversion) tertiary-butyl acrylate (TBA) containing ~100 ppm of a fluorogenic compound, e.g., maleimido-pyrene (MPy). The...journal article 2018

Luthjens, L.H. (author), Yao, T. (author), Warman, J.M. (author)We have filled a 24 mm diameter glass sphere with a transparent polymer-gel that is radio-fluorogenic, i.e., it becomes (permanently) fluorescent when irradiated, with an intensity proportional to the local dose deposited. The gel consists of > 99.9% tertiary-butyl acrylate (TBA), pre-polymerized to ~15% conversion, and ~100 ppm maleimido...journal article 2018

Yao, T. (author), Gasparini, A. (author), de Haas, M.P. (author), Luthjens, L.H. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Warman, J.M. (author)In this work a 40 mm cube of an optically clear, radio-fluorogenic gel composed of partially-polymerized tertiary-butyl acrylate and maleimido-pyrene (~0.01%) is irradiated with orthogonally-crossed, 10 mm square and round, 200 kVp x-ray beams. A thin sheet of UV light is produced between two parallel plates with 2 mm slits illuminated by...journal article 2017

Yao, T. (author), Gasparini, A. (author), Denkova, A.G. (author), Warman, J.M. (author)The radiation-induced polymerization and fluorescence intensity of a radio-fluorogenic medium consisting of tertiary-butyl acrylate (TBA) with ca 100 ppm maleimido-pyrene (MPy) display a super-linear dependence on dose and a close to inverse square root dependence on dose rate over the range from 2 to 30 Gy/min. In contrast with the fluorescence...journal article 2015
