“…In fact, the categorization of materials into TLD vs OSLD is somewhat artificial because most materials can exhibit both TL and OSL signals. For example, Al 2 O 3 :C has been used as both TLD and OSLD . However, in general, materials have clearly superior properties when used with either thermal or optical stimulation.…”

“…There is little variation in beam quality dependence for TLD-100 or nanoDots TM across megavoltage photons ( 60 Co-18 MV) and electrons (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Both of these dosimeters have nearly identical relationships: compared to the response at 6 MV, the LD's response in cobalt is around 2% higher and typically <1% difference in response is seen across different high-energy photon beams.…”

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) and optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLD) are practical, accurate, and precise tools for point dosimetry in medical physics applications. The charges of Task Group 191 were to detail the methodologies for practical and optimal luminescence dosimetry in a clinical setting. This includes: (a) to review the variety of TLD/OSLD materials available, including features and limitations of each; (b) to outline the optimal steps to achieve accurate and precise dosimetry with luminescent detectors and to evaluate the uncertainty induced when less rigorous procedures are used; (c) to develop consensus guidelines on the optimal use of luminescent dosimeters for clinical practice; and (d) to develop guidelines for special medically relevant uses of TLDs/OSLDs such as mixed photon/neutron field dosimetry, particle beam dosimetry, and skin dosimetry. While this report provides general guidelines for TLD and OSLD processes, the report provides specific details for TLD‐100 and nanoDotTM dosimeters because of their prevalence in clinical practice.

If the first decade of the new millennium saw the establishment of a more solid foundation for the use of the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) in medical dosimetry, the second decade saw the technique take root and become more widely used in clinical studies. Recent publications report not only characterization and feasibility studies of the OSL technique for various applications in radiotherapy and radiology, but also the practical use of OSL for postal audits, estimation of staff dose, in vivo dosimetry, dose verification and dose mapping studies. This review complements previous review papers and reports on the topic, providing a panorama of the new advances and applications in the last decade. Attention is also dedicated to potential future applications, such as LET dosimetry, 2D/3D dosimetry using OSL, dosimetry in magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT) and dosimetry of extremely high dose rates (FLASH therapy).
