Our recent paper on the use of micro silica beads for gamma knife dosimetry is out in PhiRO www.phiro.science/article/S240...
Micro silica bead scintillators for the relative dosimetry of a stereotactic radiosurgery unit
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) uses finely collimated radiation fields to deliver
large therapeutic doses to small benign and malignant targets, no greater than 20 cm3
in volume, while effectively sp...
