Verificação das doses de radiação absorvidas durante a técnica de irradiação de corpo inteiro nos transplantes de medula óssea, por meio de dosímetros termoluminescentes

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a precisão das doses de radiação absorvidas na terapia de transplantes de medula óssea durante a técnica de irradiação de corpo inteiro. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Utilizaram-se 200 pastilhas de sulfato de cálcio com disprósio compactado com teflon (CaSO4 + teflon), calibradas no ar e no "phantom", selecionadas aleatoriamente e dispostas em grupos de cinco no corpo dos pacientes. As leituras dosimétricas foram efetuadas pela leitora Harshaw 4000A. Nove pacientes foram irradiados no corpo inteiro em… Show more

“…Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are among the dosimeters most frequently utilized in radiotherapy, with characteristics of effective atomic number (Z effective = 8.2) close to that of water, high spatial detector resolution (0.9 mm) and low cost associated with their use (6)(7)(8) . TLDs with lithium fluoride (LiF) present energetic dependence for photons with energies < 662 keV (9) , which implies the necessity to correct readings performed with such dosimeters as they are exposed to low energy radiation.…”

“…TLDs with lithium fluoride (LiF) present energetic dependence for photons with energies < 662 keV (9) , which implies the necessity to correct readings performed with such dosimeters as they are exposed to low energy radiation. In measurements of depth absorbed dose (10) , for example, those applied in quality control of whole body irradiation (8) , the spectrum of therapy beams at depths of clinical interest is composed by high energy fractions, to which LiF presents a linear response, and also by low energy fractions, in which there is energetic dependence (9) .…”
