Extensive use of ionising radiation has increased dramatically with advances in medical diagnostic and radiation therapy, space exploration, security and defence, personal wearable dosimeters, and nuclear science. Many of these applications require the safe delivery of ionising radiation to the target volume while minimising toxicity or exposure to the patient or safety personnel. Therefore, dosimetry systems need to be in place to monitor and measure the dose delivered to the human body, with instantaneous feedback. In radiotherapy treatments, the target volume is often a cancerous cell accumulation, surrounded by healthy tissues. In this case, margins of error to the target volume during exposure to ionising radiation become crucial in order to spare surrounding vital organs when large doses have the potential to permanent damaging. Furthermore, advancements of radiotherapy modalities that make use of high dose rates, smaller fields and x-ray imaging for image guided dose delivery mo
