Dose–Response of TLD-100 in the Dose Range Useful for Hypofractionated Radiotherapy [PDF]
Purpose: The aim of the study was to exploit the feasibility of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in radiation therapy techniques in which high dose per fraction is involved. Methods: Dose–response of TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) was investigated in both 6-MV

Investigation of LiF, Mg and Ti (TLD-100) Reproducibility [PDF]
LiF, Mg and Ti cubical TLD chips (known as TLD-100) are widely used for dosimetry purposes. The repeatability of TL dosimetry is investigated by exposing them to doses of (81, 162 and 40.5 mGy) with 662keV photons of Cs-137.

Evaluation of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) for Intraoperative Electron Radiation Therapy Quality Assurance. [PDF]
Purpose of the present work was to investigate thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) response to intraoperative electron radiation therapy (IOERT) beams. In an IOERT treatment, a large single radiation dose is delivered with a high dose-per-pulse electron ...

The use of LiF (TLD‐100) as an out‐of‐field dosimeter [PDF]
The commonly used thermoluminescent dosimeter TLD‐100 (Harshaw Chemical Company, Solon, OH) responds not only to photons and electrons, but also to neutrons that are produced during high‐energy therapies. As a result, TLD‐100 measurements outside of the treatment field are suspect when high‐energy radiation is used.

Assessment of the effects of radiation type and energy on the calibration of TLD-100 [PDF]
Introduction: In radiation therapy, knowing the dose rates to healthy organs and tumors is beneficial, and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) allows for this possibility. This study was aimed at determining the dose-response differences of TLDs in various

A Photo-transfer Thermoluminescence (PTTL) Study of TLD-100 over a Wide Dose Range
Photo-transferred thermoluminescence (PTTL) is defined as the transfer of electrons from deep traps into shallow traps via optical stimulation. The importance of PTTL is that it allows for a second measurement of dose assessments for accuracy in cases ...

Investigation of Thermal Quenching Effect for Lithium Fluoride (LiF) Type Dosimeters
Thermal quenching is described as a decrease in luminescence efficiency with increasing measurement temperature. Luminescence intensity decreases with increasing heating rates in the presence of thermal quenching.
