Imaging of radiation dose distributions in gel phantoms by magnetic resonance techniques has previously been reported. In this paper a method of producing gels in which the distributions of radiation dose can also be visualized as a color change is reported. The color developed depends qualitatively and quantitatively on the concentrations of solutes in the gel.
