Use of BANG® polymer gel for dose measurements in a 68 MeV proton beam

BANG polymer gel dosimetry using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was applied to an ophthalmologic 68 MeV proton beam. The object was to examine the use of BANG gel for the verification of proton fields in eye tumor therapy and to explore the applicability of polymer gel dosimetry in proton therapy...
