“…The TLD read‐out sequence was performed in a Fimel LTMWin (Fimel, Fontenay‐aux‐Roses, France) device. TLD calibration and read‐out procedures were performed according to a method previously described by Rottke et al, (7) with traceability to secondary standard dosimetry laboratory (SSDL, Freiburg, Germany).…”

“…To date, most studies concerning effective dose assessment have used thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) in combination with anthropomorphic phantoms 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 . The low‐dose limit of TLDs when using single exposure (0.3 mGy) 8 , 9 has been considered adequate in most applications and has, therefore, been used as the reference low‐dose limit in MOSFET uncertainty assessment in this study.…”

The aims of this study were to characterize reinforced metal‐oxide‐semiconductor field‐effect transistor (MOSFET) dosimeters to assess the measurement uncertainty, single exposure low‐dose limit with acceptable accuracy, and the number of exposures required to attain the corresponding limit of the thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). The second aim was to characterize MOSFET dosimeter sensitivities for two dental photon energy ranges, dose dependency, dose rate dependency, and accumulated dose dependency. A further aim was to compare the performance of MOSFETs with those of TLDs in an anthropomorphic phantom head using a dentomaxillofacial CBCT device. The uncertainty was assessed by exposing 20 MOSFETs and a Barracuda MPD reference dosimeter. The MOSFET dosimeter sensitivities were evaluated for two photon energy ranges (50–90 kVp) using a constant dose and polymethylmethacrylate backscatter material. MOSFET and TLD comparative point‐dose measurements were performed on an anthropomorphic phantom that was exposed with a clinical CBCT protocol. The MOSFET single exposure low dose limit (25% uncertainty, normalk=2) was 1.69 mGy. An averaging of eight MOSFET exposures was required to attain the corresponding TLD (0.3 mGy) low‐dose limit. The sensitivity was 3.09±0.13 mV/mGy independently of the photon energy used. The MOSFET dosimeters did not present dose or dose rate sensitivity but, however, presented a 1% decrease of sensitivity per 1000 mV for accumulated threshold voltages between 8300 mV and 17500 mV. The point doses in an anthropomorphic phantom ranged for MOSFETs between 0.24 mGy and 2.29 mGy and for TLDs between 0.25 and 2.09 mGy, respectively. The mean difference was −8%. The MOSFET dosimeters presented statistically insignificant energy dependency. By averaging multiple exposures, the MOSFET dosimeters can achieve a TLD‐comparable low‐dose limit and constitute a feasible method for diagnostic dosimetry using anthropomorphic phantoms. However, for single in vivo measurements (<1.7 mGy) the sensitivity is too low.PACS number: 87.50.wj

“…20 The number of CBCT units 21 will likely soon surpass the number of standard CT systems in the United States, estimated to be 10 335 in 2007. 22 Although the reported range of effective doses for examinations conducted on CBCT units (20 mSv to approximately 500 mSv) [23][24][25] is lower than that of examinations performed using standard CT systems by a factor of 4 to 100, there should still be concern in dentistry, because some CBCT unit doses to specific organs are high and CBCT examinations are being proposed, by some, as substitutes for conventional imaging.…”
