Abstract

This study suggests commercially accessible graphite based media to offer outstanding value for dosimetry solutions in order to get over the current constraints as well as the poor spatial resolution and hygroscopic features of the widely utilized phosphor-based systems (TLD-100 chips). According to our research, graphite media has several advantages over other materials, including low cost, less reliance on photon energy, great spatial resolution, human soft tissue equivalence (7.4), and the ability to conduct in vivo dosimetry. Insensitivity to environmental factors, low fading from temperature and light impacts, and the ability to perform real-time measurements and device downsizing with high-scale production are further benefits of this unique dosimetric material that are anticipated.
