On the clinical applicability of large-area 2-D TL dosimetry for verifying small photon radiotherapy beams

Dosimetric properties of TL foils based on LiF:Mg,Cu,P (MCP-N) phosphors for clinical applications

“…ETFE (tetrafluoroethylene and ethylene copolymer) TL foils of sizes up to 20 Â 20 cm 2 containing LiF:Mg,Cu,P (MCP-N) powder were developed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (IFJ PAN) in Krakó w. The prototype laboratory-type 2-D TL reader equipped with a sensitive 640 Â 480 pixel CCD camera and a heater planchet of 72 mm diameter able to read 4 Â 4 cm 2 ETFE foils, and a ''clinical'' 2-D TL reader with a heating plate of 20 Â 20 cm 2 and a more sensitive 1024 Â 1024 pixel, 16 bit CCD camera, were also developed at IFJ PAN (Kabat, 2008;Kabat and Nahajowski, 2008;Kisielewicz et al, 2008;Olko et al, 2008).…”

Thermoluminescence Properties for X-ray of Cr-doped Al2O3 Ceramics

“…Recently, with the advent of the CCD camera, the high-resolution imaging of large areas has become much faster, so the amount of research on X-ray imaging using 2D-TLD was increased. (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) In particular, human-tissue-equivalent 2D-TLD has been paid more attention owing to focusing needs in the medical field. However, it has low reproducibility, low signal-to-noise ratio, and low solidity; thus, there is no suitable human-tissue-equivalent 2D-TLD.…”
