[Determination of the quality of radiation and the dose rate in radiodiagnostics and radiotherapy by means of thermoluminescence dosemeters (author's transl)].

According to article 13, para. 1 of the Röntgenverordnung (regulations for the application of radiology) the dose rate of the useful radiation of radiotherapeutic units must be measured twice a year. The authors demonstrate that it is not absolutely necessary to use very complicated systems for these measurements which can also be performed with LiF thermoluminescence dosemeters. If CaF2 thermoluminescence dosemeters are used simultaneously, it is also possible to obtain an information about the quality of radiation.
