MRI and laser-scanned optical-CT are widely reported as being three-dimensional readout methods for gel dosimetry. This preliminary study of proton irradiation of a PRESAGETM transparent solid plastic dosimeter is presented as a case study to illustrate the potential of a true-3D approach. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd
