A novel extrinsic optical fiber X-ray dosimeter for biomedical applications is presented in this paper. The primary focus of the sensor is to measure low doses of ionizing X-ray radiation. The material in the sensor tip scintillates upon exposure to radiation and the resultant low level scintillating light is coupled to a polymethylmethacrylate plastic optical fiber, which guides it toward a distant...
