Thermoluminescence Dosimetry-Application in Environmental Monitoring

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (TLD) and its Application in Medical Physics

Radiation dosimetry is fundamental in Medical Physics, involving patients and phantom dosimetry. In both cases thennoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) is the most appropriate technique for measuring the absorbed dose. In this paper thennoluminescence phenomenon as well as the use of TLD in radiodiagnosis and radiotherapy for in vivo or in phantom measurements is discussed. Some results of measuremen...

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry Studies of Industrially Important Minerals

Thermoluminescence Study of 210C Glow Peak in Synthetic Quartz and their Application in High Gamma Dosimetry

The thermoluminescence (TL) properties of laboratory grown quartz have been studied for its possible high gamma dosimetric applications. The variation of 210 o C glow peak is observed in different annealed samples followed by gamma irradiation near room temperature. The peak was found very sensitive to the pre-thermal treatments. The radiation induced effects in quartz have been studied in deta...

Thermoluminescence Dosimetry at the Vienna Triga Mark-ii Research Reactor

An investigation of the thermoluminescence of Ge-doped SiO2 optical fibres for application in interface radiation dosimetry.

We investigate the ability of high spatial resolution (∼120 μm) Ge-doped SiO2 TL dosimeters to measure photoelectron dose enhancement resulting from the use of a moderate to high-Z target (an iodinated contrast media) irradiated by 90 kVp X-rays. We imagine its application in a novel radiation synovectomy technique, modelled by a phantom containing a reservoir of I2 molecules at the interface o...
