Flexible real-time skin dosimeter based on a thin-film copper indium gallium selenide solar cell for electron radiation therapy.

We present the construction of a flexible skin dosimeter based on a CIGS solar cell. Our findings demonstrate that the CIGS solar cell has a potential to be a novel flexible skin dosimeter for electron radiotherapy. Moreover, this dosimeter is manufactured with low cost and can be easily customized to various size/shape, which represents advantages over other dosimeters.
