Modification of algorithm for accurate estimation of Hp(3) based on response of head TLD badge calibrated using ISO cylindrical phantom

Abstract In India, the prevailing approach to eye lens dosimetry is the placement of an existing dosemeter on the forehead region after slight modification serves as a dedicated Eye Lens Dosemeter. A methodology for estimating the eye lens dose in terms of the Hp(3) has been previously explored empl...

Description
Summary:Abstract In India, the prevailing approach to eye lens dosimetry is the placement of an existing dosemeter on the forehead region after slight modification serves as a dedicated Eye Lens Dosemeter. A methodology for estimating the eye lens dose in terms of the Hp(3) has been previously explored employing an algorithm based on the response characteristics of this dosemeter using ISO slab phantom. It was observed that the performance of the dosemeter in terms of Hp(3) using previous algorithm showed under response at higher angles of incidence and photon beams of energy
