چکیده مقاله:

Background & Aims: Today, different imaging techniques have been studied in the reading of radiationsensitive polymer gels dosage. Due to limitations of imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), ultrasound techniques are proposed for dose-dependent parameter extraction. In this study, using MAGIC-f (methacrylic and ascorbic acid in gelatin initiated by copper with added formaldehyde) polymer gel and megavoltage radiation energy, the dose-dependent parameters of speed of sound and broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA) were evaluated. Methods: MAGIC-f polymer gel was irradiated with ۱.۲۵ MeV of Cobalt-۶۰ and received a uniform dose in the range of ۰ to ۶۰ Gy in ۲ Gy steps (۲% accuracy). After calibration of ultrasound system with ۵۰۰ kHz frequency, the parameters of speed of sound and BUA coefficient of exposed polymer gel samples were measured. Based on the dose-response curve, the ability of the ultrasound parameters in reading the absorbed dose was investigated. To evaluate the reasonable time interval with the most sensitive reading of the ultrasound method, samples were studied ۳, ۲۴, ۳۶, and ۴۸ hours after irradiation. To study the temperature readings, the gel samples irradiated at ۵, ۱۵, and ۲۵ °C were studied. Results: The relationship of variation of speed of sound and attenuation coefficient and quality index (QI) with absorbed dose ۳, ۲۴, ۳۶, and ۴۸ hours after irradiation of gels are shown with a fourth-order polynomial fit. The results show that ultrasonic parameters have higher sensitivity ۲۴ hours after irradiation. The sensitivity of dose-speed of sound and attenuation curve were ۵۰ cm/s and ۰.۰۶ dB/MHz/Gy based on each Gy in the linear range of ۴-۴۴ Gy. Ultrasonic parameters were measured in the gel samples at ۵, ۱۵, and ۲۵ ºC after ۰-۶۰ Gy irradiation in ۲ Gy steps to determine the sensitivity of the ultrasonic properties to temperature. The measurements show that readings at ۲۵ °C have a higher sensitivity than that at ۵ and ۱۵ °C. Thus, with an increase of ۲۰ °C, the speed of sound increased ۲۸ and ۶۶ m/s before irradiation and with ۶۰ Gy absorbed dose, respectively. Moreover, the attenuation coefficient decreased ۲.۵۰ dB/MHz before irradiation and increased ۲.۷۰ dB/MHz with ۶۰ Gy absorbed dose. Conclusion: Acoustic properties of MAGIC-f gel, determined by measurements of speed of sound and ultrasonic broadband attenuation, indicate the ability of this technique in reading of absorbed dose. Maximum sensitivity of reading time and temperature of MAGIC-f gel were ۲۴ hours after irradiation and ۲۵ °C, respectively
