“…In 1972, Broadhead and Newman reported 2D X-ray imaging using CdSO 4 . (1) Since then, there have been many reports on 2D dosimetry using TLD. Nariyama et al, (2) Shinsho et al, (3) and Marczewska et al (4)(5)(6) measured the thermoluminescence (TL) distribution of TL sheets or TL pleats using charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras.…”

Ceramic thermoluminescence detectors (TLDs) are low-cost devices with high spatial resolution and very easy to use. The basic characteristics of alumina-based ceramic TLDs (Chiba Ceramic Mfg. Co., Ltd. A8) in response to X-ray and charged particle beams (H, He, C, Ne, Ar) have been reported in an effort to apply TLDs as a QA/QC tool for charged particle therapy. The glow curve has two peaks, and the main peak is located at 148 °C and 694 nm. For each irradiation, four dose levels were given: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 Gy in water. The main peak showed good linearity and repeatability for X-rays. However, thermoluminescence efficiency decreased slightly with increasing irradiation dose with charged particle irradiation. The thermoluminescence efficiency of the main peak showed a very small dependence on linear energy transfer (LET) compared with common TLDs. This ceramic TLD may be applicable as a verification tool in a limited LET range such as proton therapy.
