Dosimetry of auricular keloid irradiation.
The incidental radiation dose of lithium fluoride thermoluminescence dosimeters was recorded during 15 treatments of patients with auricular keloids. Two half-value layers were used, and the results were compared. In both instances, the homolateral lens and thyroid received twice the contralateral dose. The oropharynx dose exceeded the thyroid dose.
