Evaluation of the clinical use of TLD.

The relative light output per Gy in water for conventional roentgen radiation (20-190 kV), high energy roentgen radiation (6 and 42 MV) and electrons between 2.2 and 34.5 MeV relative to 60 Co gamma radiation is reported for different kinds of LiF dosemeters. The routine use of LiF dosemeters for a wide range of dosimetry applications in radiation therapy, the handling of the dosemeters to obtain high accuracy and the usefulness of making patient dose measurements are described.
