A radiation deep dose measuring apparatus. A corpuscular beam detector of scintillation fibers bundled together into a block is adjusted in position to have a width similar to the radiation range of corpuscular beams; a driving apparatus rotates the corpuscular beam detector and an image receiver together around a center corresponding to a radial axis of the beams; the image receiver captures the image of scintillation light emanating from the corpuscular beam detector; an image signal processing apparatus processes the image signal to produce the distribution of radiation doses as a function of depth; and a displaying apparatus displays the result. The radiation deep dose measuring apparatus allows rapid measurement of radiation doses in three-dimensional space.

Radiation deep dose measuring apparatus and corpuscular beam detector

In a depth dose measuring device, a light is outputted from an end surface of a block-type detector (202) formed by tying a plurality of scintillation fibers in a bundle, a spectroscope (204) is used to disperse the light so as to measure an amount of light having a wavelength corresponding to an emission spectrum of the scintillation fibers, a picture measuring device (205) and a picture processing device (206) calculate an emission distribution of only a scintillation light depending upon an emission distribution in which the scintillation light and a Cerenkov light are mixed, and a result is displayed on a display device (207).
