Metal oxide-silicon field effect transistors (MOSFETs) show promise as clinical dosimeters, offering accurate dose measurements comparable to thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD). These MOSFETs provide a viable alternative for patient dosimetry in radiation therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Solid-State Electronics

Background:

  • Clinical dosimetry is crucial for accurate radiation therapy.
  • Traditional methods like TLDs have limitations.
  • MOSFETs offer potential as a novel dosimetry solution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of MOSFETs as clinical dosimeters.
  • To compare MOSFET dosimetry with TLDs and calculated doses.
  • To assess MOSFET performance across various clinical sites and radiation types.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of commercially available MOSFETs for energy and angular response.
  • Evaluation of accumulated dose effects on MOSFET sensitivity.
  • Comparison of MOSFET-determined doses with TLDs and calculated doses in patients.

Main Results:

  • MOSFETs achieved dose agreement within 5% of expected doses for photon and electron beams.
  • MOSFET dosimetry showed a lower standard deviation (3.9%) compared to TLDs (5.1%).
  • Patients tolerated MOSFETs well, with some limitations noted in specific clinical scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • MOSFETs are a suitable alternative to TLDs for clinical dosimetry.
  • MOSFETs provide accurate and reliable dose measurements in radiation therapy.
  • Further research is needed to address limitations in certain clinical applications.
