摘要：
Plastic scintillation dosimeters (PSD) have been a topic of a keen research interest for the past 20 years. Numerous PSD systems have been proposed, most times differentiating from the previous by a slight change in one or more components, such as the photodetector. However, a few major technological and engineering innovations have also been made. Over the past few years PSDs have been evaluated for small field dosimetry, in vivo dose measurements, building of arrays and much more. The present manuscript is intended to present the basic physics and properties of PSDs and its application over the past two decades.
