Nevertheless, applications of BeO dosimeter in radiology systems are quite limited. Caraça-Santos et al. (2013) have studied the feasibility of BeO ceramics as a fibre-coupled RL dosimeter for 6 MV X-rays and superficial X-ray energies, 150 kVp and 120 kVp. The PDD values were ...
Many solid-state detectors have been successfully used to perform the quality control and in vivo dosimetry in medical physics, both in diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy, as they have high sensitivity in a small volume; most of them do not require electrical connection and have dosimetric ...

In diagnostic medicine, there is a wide range of conditions under which air kerma must be measured. Air kerma rates important to diagnostic and image-guided interventional radiology vary from less than 10 microgray per hour to many gray per minute. Energies range from less than 10 keV to 150...
Introduction: Thermo-luminescent dosimeters (TLD) are the most widely used point dosimetry systems in the medical and dental field for personnel dosimetry, dose assessment and radiobiological studies. TLDs are small in size volume, can be used over a wide dose range, are resilient to ...
interventional radiologyDue to the relatively high occupational doses associated with interventional and diagnostic fluoroscopy procedures it is important to create awareness about and to quantify the radiation environment that medical staff are exposed to. A computer program was developed to ...
