Description

This is a Special Issue of the SSDL Newsletter. The original idea is to highlight the 40th anniversary of the IAEA/WHO TLD postal dose audit service. After forty years of operation, the service has verified the calibration of approximately 8000 radiotherapy beams in about 1700 hospitals worldwide. Several hundreds of dosimetry deviations have been identified and reconciled, thus avoiding potential dose misadministration to patients
