Popis: A fiber-optic dosimeter was developed using a plastic scintillating fiber, a plastic optical fiber, and a photomultiplier tube for measuring entrance surface dose over the low-energy range which is interested in diagnostic radiology. To evaluate the fabricated fiber-optic dosimeter, the scintillating light signals were measured by changing the current-time product whose values were determined by tube current and irradiation time of a digital radiography system. In conclusion, the trend of scintillating light signals of the fiber-optic dosimeter was similar with that of the entrance surface doses of a commercially available semiconductor dosimeter according to the current-time product.
