Scintillation Detectors
When excited by ionizing radiation, a scintillator has the particularity to emit an optical photon source proportionally to the received energy within nano seconds.
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 fiber.
Plastic Scintillation Detector
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 of plastic scintillation dosimetry solutions.
A new generation of detectors
− Plastic Scintillation Detectors open the door to a new era
of real-time, accurate, and non-perturbing dosimetry supporting mainstream to specialized research projects.
− Medscint innovative hyperspectral approach combines all
