Description

An electron spin resonance (ESR) dosimetry system for an in-vivo human tooth has been developed to measure, without extraction, the cumulative radiation dose in a tooth. The system consists of a TE102 cavity with an aperture at the end plate, a Nd-B-Fe (Neomax) oral magnet and a commercial ESR spectrometer. The front molar is attached to the aperture of the cavity to detect radicals created by radiation in the tooth enamel. Optimum dosimetry conditions were investigated using an extracted human tooth.
