In vivo dose measurement using TLDs and MOSFET dosimeters for cardiac radiosurgery. [PDF]

, 2012
In vivo measurements were made of the dose delivered to animal models in an effort to develop a method for treating cardiac arrhythmia using radiation. This treatment would replace RF energy (currently used to create cardiac scar) with ionizing radiation.
