Intercomparison of Gafchromic(TM) films, TL detectors and TL foils for the measurements of skin dose in interventional radiology

Original language description

Several passive solid state dosemeters, such as Gafchromic(TM) films and thermoluminescence CM detectors, are used to estimate and monitor patient skin doses in interventional radiology. To determine the suitability of XR-TypeR Gafchromic(TM) films and of detectors based on TL materials: pellets, chips and foils to measure skin dose, an intercomparison exercise has been organized within European Dosimetry Radiation Group - Working Group 12 "European Medical ALARA Network" (EURADOS WG12). To test response detectors were exposed to X-ray beams of energies and qualities applied clinically. A blind test was also performed to investigate the accuracy of the dose estimate by detectors exposed to unknown doses. We found the response of films to be strongly dependent on beam quality and filtration (increasing by up to 80% with respect to reference beam quality). The response of TL detectors was found to be less dependent on beam quality (less than 25% variation), with TL. foils showing less th
