The ORIGIN project targets the production and qualification of a real-time radiation dose imaging and sourcelocalization system for both Low Dose Rate (LDR) and High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments, namelyradiotherapy based on the use of radioactive sources implanted in the patient’s body. This goal will be achievedthrough a 16-fiber sensor system, engineered to house in a clear-fiber tip a small volume of the scintillator toallow point-like measurements of the delivered dose. Each fiber is optically coupled to a sensor with singlephoton sensitivity (Silicon Photomultipliers — SiPMs) operating in counting mode. The readout is basedon the CITIROC1A ASIC by WEEROC, embedded in the FERS-DT5202 scalable platform designed by CAEN S.p.A. Linearity and sensitivity together with the fiber response uniformity, system stability, and measurementreproducibility are key features for a instrument aiming to perform dose measurements. Characterization wascarried out in the laboratory, using an X-ray cabinet; preliminary dose rate measurements were performed inclinical conditions. |
