Thermoluminescence dosimetry of the dose received by scrotum and testes in radiotherapy of rectal cancer, compared to the point doses calculated by 3D-planning software

Thermal Annealing Effect on the Thermoluminescence Properties of Commercial High‐Pressure High‐Temperature Diamond Powders

“…TLDs have been successfully used to investigate incidental testicular doses in prostate cancer patients treated with intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), rectal carcinoma patients, and patients with head and neck cancer. [ 6–8 ] The wide application of TLDs in personal, environmental, and medical dosimetry is because it works for any type of radiation including, α‐radiation, γ‐rays, X‐rays, β‐rays, neutrons, and highly energetic beam particles. Besides the justified interest in improving the TLD applications, there is a strong research effort in developing novel TLD materials with higher sensitivity, good dose response, and a broader radiation regime.…”
