Modelling the X-ray thermoluminescent response of CaSO4:Dy for dosimetry in diagnostic radiology by EGSnrc Monte Carlo method
In this study, the EGSnrc Monte Carlo (MC) code was used to evaluate the energy response of CaSO4:Dy thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD 900). CaSO4:Dy (0.15 wt% Dy) dosimeters in powder form were studied to evaluate their energy response to X-ray and gamma radiations at room temperature on the PMMA phantom. The photon energy response, the correction factor, the response of elements C1 and C2, the r12 ratio, and the dose algorithm in terms (10) were developed, leveraging both simulation results and physical measurements. The energy and dose algorithm’s estimations were compared against experimental data to validate its accuracy and identify potential discrepancies. A dose algorithm for (10) estimation within an accuracy of 20% was developed from the r12 ratio of elements under different filters using photon energy ranging from diagnostic X-ray. In addition, the simulation results agree well with the physical measurements, validating that the MC simulation method is well-suited for describing the interactions of particles and materials with complex geometries under different irradiation conditions.
期刊介绍:
The journal seeks to publish papers that present advances in the following areas: spontaneous and stimulated luminescence (including scintillating materials, thermoluminescence, and optically stimulated luminescence); electron spin resonance of natural and synthetic materials; the physics, design and performance of radiation measurements (including computational modelling such as electronic transport simulations); the novel basic aspects of radiation measurement in medical physics. Studies of energy-transfer phenomena, track physics and microdosimetry are also of interest to the journal.
Applications relevant to the journal, particularly where they present novel detection techniques, novel analytical approaches or novel materials, include: personal dosimetry (including dosimetric quantities, active/electronic and passive monitoring techniques for photon, neutron and charged-particle exposures); environmental dosimetry (including methodological advances and predictive models related to radon, but generally excluding local survey results of radon where the main aim is to establish the radiation risk to populations); cosmic and high-energy radiation measurements (including dosimetry, space radiation effects, and single event upsets); dosimetry-based archaeological and Quaternary dating; dosimetry-based approaches to thermochronometry; accident and retrospective dosimetry (including activation detectors), and dosimetry and measurements related to medical applications.
