• leuco dye, which is radiolytically oxidized to a dye absorbing at 630 nm. Keywords: dosimeters; leuco dyes; polymers; radiation; triarylmethane synthesis; Introduction Radiotherapy treatment is a complex 3D process, which is the principle treatment modality for most cancers [1]. The two main types of

• (dosimeters) with sufficient capability to verify complex treatments and ensure accurate, safe implementation [2]. There have been reports of high failure rates for complex radiation treatments [3][4]. These concerns and others have led many to recognize an urgent need to strengthen the foundations of quality

• the polymerization of acrylamide with N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide and various monomers to yield a cloud like precipitate in the aqueous gel [13]. Due to the nature of their radical chemistry, polymer gel dosimeters have several limitations. They are susceptible to atmospheric oxygen inhibiting the

• ]. Lately, the chemodosimeter-based sensing has gained increasing popularity on account of the irreversible chemical intervention of analytes with the probe molecules. Since the metal ions are disengaged from the chemically modified dosimeters, the process results in the more reliable fluorescence

The leuco forms of triarylmethine dyes are extensively used in biological applications. They show phototoxicity toward tumor cells [10] and also demonstrate antifungal

• Fricke-dosimetry. The reliability of the dose determination was checked against IAEA-alanine dosimeters resulting in an overall accuracy of the dose measurements of ±5%. The total dose applied was 24 kGy. Cell proliferation assay Tests were made in 24-well-plates and 6-well-plates with a well diameter of
