title: An improved volumetric dosimeter for internal dose verification.
abstract: The need for a volumetric dosimetry system for use in experiments to verify internal dosimetry calculations has been stressed previously. Such a system, consisting of a mixture of paraffin, tetrachlorobenzene and LiF TLD-100, has been developed at our institute. The dosimeter is essentially tissue equivalent and may be molded easily into any shape. Fabrication procedures and dosimeter-response characteristics of the system are presented. Results indicate no influence of the organic materials on the response of the TLD-100.
