Abstract
In this study, a two-dimensional fiber-optic radiation sensor has been developed using water-equivalent organic scintillators for photon beam therapy dosimetry. Two-dimensional photon beam distributions and percent depth doses(PDD) are measured according to the energies and field sizes of the photon beam. This sensor has many advantages such as high resolution, real-time measurement and ease of calibration over conventional radiation measurement devices.
