Three different methods for characterising the dose deposition profile of a Sr-90/Y-90 radioactive source are described: GAFChromic film dosimetry, Thermoluminescence (TL) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL). For the film measurements, GAFChromic film samples were stacked at different depths between polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foils. For TL, the thickness of a TLD-500 dosemeter was gradually reduced by polishing and the TL from chips of different thickness was used in conjunction with a mathematical model based on the exponential attenuation of dose inside the crystal to determine the decay constant for the dose-depth profile. Finally, an OSL reader with confocal stimulation / detection capabilities was used to map the two-dimensional dose distribution in TLD-500 dosemeters as a function of depth. The shapes of the dose deposition profiles obtained from all the investigated methods are in good agreement.

PRELIMINARY OSL STUDIES ON BEIGE SEPIOLITES
Bulur, Enver (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2008-09-01)
Radiation-induced luminescence signals in beige sepiolite samples were investigated using optically stimulated luminescence. A thermally stable, light-sensitive radiation-induced signal was detected, and radiation dose response and thermal properties of this signal were studied. The thermal stability and dose sensitivity of the signal implies the potential of the material for dating and retrospective radiation dosimetry.
Experimental results for 2D magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) using magnetic flux density in one direction
Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (IOP Publishing, 2003-11-07)
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) is an emerging imaging technique that reconstructs conductivity images using magnetic flux density measurements acquired employing MRI together with conventional EIT measurements. In this study, experimental MR-EIT images from phantoms with conducting and insulator objects are presented. The technique is implemented using the 0.15 T Middle East Technical University MRI system. The dc current method used in magnetic resonance current density imaging...
Lorentz force electrical impedance tomography using magnetic field measurements
ZENGİN, Reyhan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2016-08-21)
In this study, magnetic field measurement technique is investigated to image the electrical conductivity properties of biological tissues using Lorentz forces. This technique is based on electrical current induction using ultrasound together with an applied static magnetic field. The magnetic field intensity generated due to induced currents is measured using two coil configurations, namely, a rectangular loop coil and a novel xy coil pair. A time-varying voltage is picked-up and recorded while the acoustic...
Trace level determination of beryllium in natural and flavored mineral waters after pre-concentration using activated carbon
KILINÇ, ERSİN; Bakirdere, Sezgin; YAMAN, MEHMET (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
The concentrations of beryllium (Be) in natural and flavored mineral water samples were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (FAAS) after pre-concentration based on the complexation of Be(+2) with a mixture of acetylacetone (pentane-2,4-dione) plus morin (3,5,7,2',4'-pentaoxyflavone) and adsorption on activated carbon. The adsorbed complex was eluted with 1.5 ml of 2.0 M HNO(3) and evaporated to dryness. After adding 1.5 ml of 2 M HNO(3) and centrifuging, Be in acid solution was determine...
ESTIMATION OF TISSUE RESISTIVITIES FROM MULTIPLE-ELECTRODE IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; WOLF, PD (IOP Publishing, 1994-01-01)
In order to measure in vivo resistivity of tissues in the thorax, the possibility of combining anatomical data extracted from high-resolution images with multiple-electrode impedance measurements, a priori knowledge of the range of tissue resistivities, and a priori data on the instrumentation noise is assessed in this study. A statistically constrained minimum-mean-square error estimator (MIMSEE) that minimizes the effects of linearization errors and instrumentation noise is developed and compared to the c...
