Double-fluorescent material radiation dose detection optical fiber probe

Abstract

The invention provides a double-fluorescent material radiation dose detection optical fiber probe, which is used for detecting the absorbed dose in a radiation area. The optical fiber probe comprises a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber, wherein one end of the first optical fiber and one end of the second optical fiber are used for being connected with a first light intensity detector and a second light intensity detector respectively; detection end parts of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber are internally filled with a first fluorescent material and a second fluorescent material respectively; and the first fluorescent material and the second fluorescent material are two different kinds of fluorescent materials. The double-fluorescent material radiation dose detection optical fiber probe has the beneficial effects that as the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber are internally filled with the different fluorescent materials respectively, the actual radiation depth and the actual radiation absorbed dose in the radiation area are obtained through an incorrect solution removal method by using the two different fluorescent materials and in the case of real-time measurement, health and safety of a patient during a course of radiotherapy can be ensured.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber probe, in particular to a dual fluorescent material radiation dose detection optical fiber probe. Background technique [0002] Due to the changes in current social and environmental factors, the number of people suffering from malignant tumors worldwide is on the rise, and radiotherapy, as an effective treatment for malignant tumors, has been widely used in the medical community. During radiotherapy, a large amount of radiation, such as α-rays, β-rays, γ-rays, X-rays, and electron radiation, are irradiated on the tumor from different directions, which will damage the DNA of tumor cells to inhibit their growth and proliferation. However, in patients During radiotherapy, if you receive excessive radiation, it will cause huge damage to the healthy tissues of the body. Therefore, it is particularly important to control the radiation absorbed dose of the patient during the treatment. [0003] At present, most of the stan...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most of the standard sensors for measuring radiation absorbed dose cannot meet the requirements of real-time monitoring of absorbed dose due to factors such as excessive size, insufficient material safety, and short service life; The result is related to the depth of the fiber optic probe, and the radiation depth will be affected by the patient's position and irradiation direction, making it difficult to determine the radiation depth. In this way, the fiber optic probe with a single fluorescent material cannot accurately obtain the actual radiation absorbed dose of the patient's treatment area , in view of this, it is urgent to develop a fiber optic probe that can detect the actual absorbed dose in the radiation area
