Uncertainty analysis of absorbed dose calculations from thermoluminescence dosimeters.
Thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD) are widely used to verify absorbed doses delivered from radiation therapy beams. Specifically, they are used by the Radiological Physics Center for mailed dosimetry for verification of therapy machine output. The effects of the random experimental uncertainties of various factors on dose calculations from TLD signals are examined, including: fading, dose resp...
متن کاملDose measurement outside of radiotherapy treatment field (Peripheral dose) using thermoluminesent dosimeters
Background: In radiation therapy, peripheral dose or the dose outside the radiotherapy field, is important when anatomical structures with very low dose tolerances are involved. One of these critical organs in pelvic irradiation is testis. The amount of radiation delivered to the testes in radiotherapy must be kept as small as possible, consistent with the limit dose of this organ. The threshol...
متن کاملSynthesis and thermoluminescence properties investigation of nano-structured alumina for high dose measurement
In this study, nanostructured alumina was synthesized by solution combustion method and its thermoluminescence properties was investigated. X-raydiffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to investigate the crystal structure, morphology and the particle size of the powders. It was observed that nano structured α-Al2O3 particles with nano flake morphology and thickne...

متن کاملOrgan Dose Measurement in Computed Tomography Using Thermoluminescence Dosimeter in Locally Developed Phantoms
Introduction: Organ dose estimation using thermoluminescence dosimeter (TLD) is known to be a standard, although many other methods, such as simulation software, optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters, and photodiodes are still in use. This study aimed at directly measuring mean organ doses to the selected organs in the head/neck, chest, and abdominal regions from four computed tomography ...
