In recent years, there has been a demand for a method to easily visualize radiation in radiation cancer therapy, and our laboratory has been developing a gel dosimeter made of PVA and KI. In this study, we focused on the measurement sensitivity, retention, and physical properties of PVA-KI gel, and investigated ways to improve these characteristics, thereby attempting to improve the PVA-KI gel dosimeter.
