Description

This concise text provides an introduction to the use of thermoluminescence dosemeters for the accurate measurement of the exposure and dose of ionising radiations. It covers the basic theory of thermoluminescence, the characteristics of commonly used phosphors, the design and operation of dosemeters, and their use for various specific measurement applications. The emphasis is on clinical dosimetry, but personal and environmental monitoring are among other applications of thermoluminescence dosimetry discussed. (author)
