Abstract

In the present work thermoluminescent (TL) response of zirconium oxide (ZrO ₂) nanostructured induced by mammography X-ray radiation was investigated. Measurements were made of the response per unit air kerma of ZrO ₂ with mammography equipment parameters (semiautomatic exposure control, 24kVp and 108mAs). The calibration curves were obtained by simultaneously irradiating ZrO ₂ samples and ion chamber. Samples of ZrO ₂ showed a linear response as a function of entrance skin air kerma. The observed results in TL properties suggest that ZrO ₂ nanostructured could be considered as an effective material for X-ray beams dosimetry if appropriate calibration procedures are performed.
