Ensuring radiation safety of medical examinations using thermoluminescent dosimetry

Abstract

The paper proposes the use of TLD-K thermoluminescent detectors for measuring absorbed doses at the entrance and exit radiation sites of the patient's body during medical diagnostic examinations. The proposed technique is used in dosimetric control of patients during diagnostic examinations and medical personnel working under X-ray control. The use of small-scale thermoluminescent detectors with cover layers of different thicknesses makes it possible to study the topography of dose distribution both in terms of propagation depth and body area.
