Abstract

The aim of this paper was to develop a thermoluminescent dosimetry method for the absorbed dose determination of 6 MeV high-energy electron beams by thermoluminescent dosimetry. Total body irradiation (TBI) was performed using four dual fields angled at 252° and 285° in high-dose rate (HDR) mode. TBI measurements were investigated to estimate the absorbed dose in different anatomical parts of the patient. Experimental results were obtained using thermoluminescent detectors and solid water phantoms. The TL response of the dosimeters, as a function of the high-energy electron beam (HEEB) absorbed dose, was linear, from 0.1 to 500. cGy. The entrance skin dose (ESD) and isodose distribution on the surface of the treatment were investigated graphically.
