PURPOSE The radiation dose to the lens of the eye, skin, thyroid and brain of patients who underwent diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures of the lacrimal drainage system have been measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD-100 and TLD-700) by using an adult male and female Rando phantom. All dose values for one second of fluoroscopic exposure and one frame of digital subtr...

Abstract. Mineral grains within sediment or rock absorb a radiation dose from the decay of radionuclides in host matrix. For beta component, estimated rate must be adjusted for attenuation particles mineral grains. Standard calculations, originally designed thermoluminescence dating pottery, assume that grain is embedded homogenous medium. However, most current applications trapped-charge conce...

Passive solid state dosimeters, such as thermoluminescence provide integrated measurement of the total dose and are widely used in environmental monitoring programs. The objective this paper is to a comprehensive review on use thermoluminescent dosimetry methods for radiation environment. article presents part research results project PREPAREDNESS (EMPIR 2016 call Metrology Environment joint pr...

PURPOSE This investigation studies the feasibility of PRESAGE, a 3D polyurethane dosimeter, for relative dosimetry measurements of clinically relevant proton treatments using an anthropomorphic head phantom developed by the Radiological Physics Center (RPC). Performance of a low-LET dependent PRESAGE was evaluated by comparison to the traditionally used radiochromic film, EBT2, and thermolumine...

Study has been undertaken of the thermoluminescence (TL) yield of various tailor-made flat cross-section 6 mol% Ge-doped silica fibers, differing only in respect of external dimensions. Key TL dosimetric characteristics have been investigated, including glow curves, dose response, sensitivity, fading and reproducibility. Using a (60)Co source, the samples were irradiated to doses within the ran...

Abstract Thermoluminescence properties of lanthanum aluminum oxide (LaAlO3) doped with optically active rare earth ions have been investigated for ultraviolet dosimetry purposes. LaAlO 3 :Pr 3+ powder samples were 2% Pr , the first research they show two thermoluminescent (TL) peaks at 215±5 °C and 340±4 which can be sensitized after 1 min to 12 UVA exposure. The material shows TL output linear...
