The patient doses of relevant organs ranged in the milli-Grays (mGy) level. The irradiation-induced risk is on a per mil level in respect of ICRP-60. The risk of cerebral angiographic procedures, radiotherapy, or surgical interventions is on a per cent level. The organ doses for staff are on a micro-Gray (microGy) scale and are higher in examination of children than of adults. A statistical limit of examinations depends on yearly or life-time dose limits with regard to the "Röntgenverordnung" (Germany).
The authors studied how supralinearity influences individual "deep trap" terms (or levels) of a glow curve that represents the luminous flux emitted by heated LiF rods as a function of energy required for heating. It is assumed that a Gaussian function can be used for glow curve analysis, developing measured glow curves to represent individual "deep trap" terms. Analysis reveals that supralinearity occurs much earlier and more markedly with high temperature peaks than with low ones. This has a bearing on practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
