Summary:Since 1999 it has been convention at the IC3Ddose conferences to provide an opportunity for interested attendees to come together for an early morning session to review the basic properties of one family of 3D dosimeters: volumetric chemical dosimeters. Seasoned workers in the field benefit from a refreshed perspective, while those new to the field get an overview of this one modality for 3D dose measurement early in the conference. The intent of the session is to describe the basic science and characteristics of these true 3D systems, how they work and how they are read out. This provides some basic foundation to all attendees before the conference moves to the more detailed presentations directed to various specific issues and applications (e.g., looking at specific gel or plastic dosimeter, its readout and its clinical utilization). This talk is that session.
