摘要
Thermoluminescent dosimeters are extensively used for quantitative dose measurements in many fields such as patient closimetry radiation therapy. In this study by using commercially available TL materials a practical method was developed for routine energy quality assurance verification for an orthovoltage X-ray therapy machine.
