Abstract: A dosimeter product that simplifies the process of dosimetry in medical diagnosis, therapy and other fields where high precision is needed. The dosimeter product is obtained by a unique training method which stabilizes the sensitivity of the dosimeter. Stability in sensitivity is established by a combination of high temperature cyclical annealing and low temperature furnace annealing. After the sensitivity of the dosimeters is stabilized, the dosimeters are then calibrated by generating for every dosimeter within a group element correction coefficients (ECCs) that compensate for the differences in sensitivity among the group of the dosimeters, bringing the sensitivity of each dosimeter to the sensitivity of the mean of the population. The result is a group of precalibrated dosimeters with stable sensitivity that are ready to use with established correction factors for individual TL response differences.

Abstract: A TLD dosimeter and method of making same, characterized by assembling a solid body of TL material on a non-luminescent substrate with a non-luminescent liquid adhesive interposed between juxtaposed parallel surfaces of the TL body and substrate, and heating the assembly to cure the liquid adhesive thereby to bond the TL body to the substrate. The liquid adhesive is a polyimide. For bonding the solid body to a film substrate such as an aromatic polyimide film, the TL body and film substrate are pressed together during heating and the heating step preferably involves baking the assembly at a high temperature.
