TL measurements with computerised glow curve analysis in clinical dosimetry.
Radiat. Prot. Dosim. 66, 269-271 (1996)
A MS Windows software has been developed that abandons low temperature annealing in TL dosimetry with LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100). This is achieved by a glow curve analysis based on the first order kinetics model of Randall and Wilkins. Different from commercial deconvolution, and aimed to process exact trap parameters, the new software is optimised for straight-forward assessment of peak areas as a measure of dose. The program allows manual or automatical analysis of glow curves (even of different TL materials). Typical for LiF:Mg,Ti is a processing time of less than 1 s per glow curve. Under laboratory conditions coefficients of variation, V, were found within 0,2 < V < 0.6% for 50 non-selected LiF:Mg,Ti samples re-used 10 times at 1 Gy. No thermal fading could be found for one week storage at temperatures up to 40°C. The flexible software is user-friendly and may serve for routine and quality assurance programmes in clinical dosimetry.
