[Thermo-luminescent dosimetry (author's transl)].
The development of paediatric radiology which began in the late 1950's has been characterised by the need to limit the dose of ionising radiation to which the child is subjected. The aim has been to keep radiation exposure as low as possible by the introduction of suitable techniques and by the development of new methods. It is therefore surprising that studies in dosimetry in the paediatric age range have only been carried out in recent years. One reason for this may have been the fact that a suitable technique of measurement was not available at the time. The introduction of solid state dosimetry based on thermo-luminescence, first into radiotherapy (1968) and subsequently into radiodiagnosis, has made it possible to abandon the previously widely used ionisation chamber (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 14). The purpose of the present paper is to indicate the suitability of this form of dose measurement for paediatric radiological purposes and to stimulated its application in this field.
