Abstract

The extremity dosimeters are devices used to quantifying the radiation dose that the occupationally exposed individual receives in specific regions of the body during the work time. Dosimeter calibration is essential so that the dosimeter response is equivalent to the received dose. Tests such as batch homogeneity and lower detection limit are part of the dosimeter calibration process. The rod phantom simulates the region of interest regarding the interaction with radiation and the scattered dose. The extremity dosimeters used were the LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent dosimeters.
