Scintillators used to compare the best small field detectors available

Magali Besnier, from CHU de Québec-Université Laval and Université Laval, talked about her work at the AAPM 2022 determining the small field output correction factors of various small field detectors using our innovative HYPERSCINT plastic scintillation detector as a reference. Using TOPAS/GEANT4 simulations tools to refine the HYPERSCINT data, detector-specific small field output correction factors for the other detectors have…

Plastic scintillators are a powerful solution for validating a new 10 MV photon flash beam

Nolan Esplen is a PhD student at University of Victoria, he presented his research at the AAPM 2022. He worked on a new Ultra High Dose Rate 10MV x-ray beam in professor Magdalena Bazalova-Carter‘s group in Canada. Using the Medscint HYPERSCINT Research Platform combined with radiochromic films, he was able to perform the beam commissioning and dosimetry of the TRIUMF Advanced Rare Isotope Laboratory…

Perfect fit between HYPERSCINT / MR-LINACs

Successful presentation at the 2022 COMP Annual Scientific Meeting The fit between the HYPERSCINT and MR-LINACs is ideal as unlike other detectors, the HYPERSCINT scintillation dosimetry platform can be used regardless of its orientation in a magnetic field environment. Together with its linearity to dose and dose-rate, the detector shows great promises for development of…
