A dosimeter system based on the Riso B3 dosimeter film, an office scanner f
or use with PC and the associated software is presented. The scanned image
is analyzed either with standard software (Paint Shop Pro 5 or Excel) funct
ions or with the computer code "Scanalizer" that allows presentation of two
-dimensional dose maps. Stability and traceability of the dosimeter system
is ensured through simultaneous measurement of reference dosimeters. In the
dose range from 10 to 70 kGy reproducibility is approximately +/-12% at 1
sigma. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
