被引用回数：0 パーセンタイル：0.00(Environmental Sciences)An additional individual monitoring using ring badge must be made, when inhomogenous exposure around radiation workers' extremity were critical for radiation workers. The RPLD, the GD-302M and the GD-352M have a dimension of 13.0 mm in length and 2.8 mm in diameter for outer casing and will also be a promising candidate for individual monitoring of the extremities of medical personnel. We investigated the applicability of this commercially available RPLDs to extremity dose monitoring by performing a characterization of the dosemeters by experiments and Monte Carlo (MC) calculations. The results shows that the energy response of GD-352M fully meets the IEC requirement between 20 keV and 200 keV. We also found that no significant angular dependence of responses for each model was observed and orientation of irradiation hardly affected the response. In conclusion, we demonstrated the applicability of a small RPLD to the extremity monitoring in terms of (0.07) for medical personnel.

被引用回数：2 パーセンタイル：21.09(Environmental Sciences)We demonstrate a practical calibration method and its applicability for a commercially available radiophotoluminescence dosemeter (RPLD, GD-352M) to eye lens dose monitoring, by performing the calibration in accord with the ISO recommendations. The calibration was then verified through a series of experiments. For verification of the derived calibration factor (1.21 
0.04, 
= 1) of the RPLD, we performed standard irradiations in the X-ray reference fields and the mockup measurements in the actual radiation fields in a hospital. The commercially available dosemeters, DOSIRIS was also put on the ISO cylinder phantom and the RANDO phantom together with the GD-352M in the verification experiments. The personal dose equivalents 
(3) obtained from the GD-352M and those obtained from the DOSIRIS were in good agreement with each other. Our results demonstrate the proper calibration of a commercially available RPLD that is applicable to the additional monitoring of the lens of the eyes for medical personnel.

For proper monitoring of the eye lens dose, an appropriate calibration factor of a dosimeter and information about the mean energies of X-rays are indispensable. The scattered X-ray energy spectra should be well characterized in medical practices where eye lenses of medical staffs might be high. Scattered X-ray energy spectra were experimentally derived for three different types of X-ray diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. A commercially available CdZnTe (CZT) spectrometer with a lead collimator was employed for the measurement of scattered X-rays. From the obtained energy spectra, the mean energies of the scattered X-rays lied between 40 and 60 keV. This also agreed with that obtained by the conventional half value layer method. The obtained mean energies of the scattered X-rays were found to match the flat region of the dosimeter response.
