Accuracy of the Calibration Curve Method for Absorbed Dose Assessment in Irradiated Refrigerated Chicken Bone

The influence of the decay of the radiation induced free radicals on electron spin resonance (ESR) bone dosimetry was studied. The absorbed doses in irradiated bone are usually assessed by applying correction factors for decay. An alternative procedure is presented in which the ESR readout was perfo...

Description
Summary:The influence of the decay of the radiation induced free radicals on electron spin resonance (ESR) bone dosimetry was studied. The absorbed doses in irradiated bone are usually assessed by applying correction factors for decay. An alternative procedure is presented in which the ESR readout was performed only when the ESR signal had reached good stability for the bone samples used to establish the calibration curves and also on bones for which absorbed dose assessment was to be made. The results of the evaluated doses obtained by using this approach were the same as the ones obtained by using corrections for the decay of ESR signals.
