Determination of Absorbed Dose in Reactors
This Code of Practice, which has also been endorsed by WHO, PAHO and ESTRO, fulfils the need for a systematic and internationally unified approach to the calibration of ionization chambers...
It is prudent to use the more fundamental dose quantity, D, for dose assessments used in epidemiologic studies. For such studies, absorbed dose is usually estimated for specific organs on an annual basis, expressed as rad/yr.
Determination of Absorbed Dose in a Patient Irradiated by Beams of X Or Gamma Rays in Radiotherapy Procedures
An Evaluation of Radiation Exposure Guidance for Military Operations: Interim Report
This report describes and assesses radiological characterization as a precursor to decommissioning. It shows the influence of the radioactive inventory on the planning and strategies of decommissioning and also presents...
Does radiation medicine need more regulation or simply better-coordinated regulation? This book addresses this and other questions of critical importance to public health and safety.
In this book we have attempted to synthesize the major advances in the field, covering both fundamental understanding and the many applications. The latter serve to demonstrate the success and popularity of OSL as a dosimetry method.
... Analysis of large TLD data sets shows this assumption to be false, with distributions that exhibit significant low-side tailing. The arithmetic mean therefore may not be the best estimator for the determination of absorbed dose from ...
Proceedings of the 8th ASTM-Euratom Symposium, held in Vail, Colorado, Aug.-Sept. 1993, to provide a forum for experts to discuss their latest results under the broad theme of dosimetry for the correlation of radiation effects.
