Abstract :
A PC-based system for thermoluminescent dosimetry in clinical use is described. In addition to providing accurate dosimetry, this system has the advantage of allowing permanent recording of the glow curves of the dosimeters, thus permitting the user to review the radiation response history of the dosimeter.<>
