Preliminary study of a normoxic PAG gel dosimeter with tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride as an anti-oxidant

Abstract

A preliminary investigation is reported using both MRI and CT evaluation techniques of the hypoxic PAG formulation combined with the anti-oxidant THP in order to create a normoxic PAG polymer gel dosimeter. This formulation has been named PAGAT (polyacrylamide, gelatin and THP) polymer gel dosimeter.
