Dose Mapping by Scanning Gafchromic Film to Measure the Absorbed Dose of Insects During Their Sterilization

摘要

Dose mapping provides operators of irradiators used for the sterile insect technique(SIT)with the information of the dose within the irradiation container, including areas of maximum and minimum dose, the dose uniformity ratio(maximum dose/minimum dose), and areas were the dose rate is relatively uniform so that a suitable volume for the canister can be selected to provide the dose uniformity ratio(DUR)required.
