Abstract:BackgroundOptically stimulated luminescent dosimeters (OSLDs) can be bleached and reused, but questions remain about the effects of repeated bleaching and fractionation schedules on OSLD performance.PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate how light sources with different wavelengths and different fractionation schemes affect the performance of reused OSLDs.MethodsOSLDs (N = 240) were irradiated on a cobalt‐60 beam in different step sizes until they reached an accumulated dose of 50 Gy. Between irradiat… Show more
