“…Qualitatively, there are blood irradiation indicators, used routinely, which only state whether or not the blood bag was irradiated. Different quantitative dosimetric tools have been studied for blood dosimetry in recent years: thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) [94,112,113], Fricke solution [112], radiochromic film [114], colorimetric dosimetry [115] and solid state dosimetry, including methacrylate polymers (red perspex) [94], alanine [94,[116][117][118], mosfet [41] and diodes [119]. A quantitative method is commercially available for blood irradiators dosimetry (DOSE-MAP TM /Ashland Inc., Covington, Kentucky, USA).…”
