Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, our aim was to analyze basic characteristics of an OSL dosimeter as a radiation detector and to measure exposure dose during clinical X-ray examinations. The detector, characterized as a personal dosimeter, for use in the management of radiation exposure to medical staff has been developed and some companies provide them as an exposure dose monitoring service. However, a dosimeter which can be applied to measure exposure dose to patients has not been developed. We focused our attention on the development of an OSL dosimeter which does not include additional metal filters. Then we evaluated basic characteristics such as angular and energy dependence. After that, we measured exposure dose to staff during pediatric plain X-ray examination and patients who are undergoing pediatric CT examination.
