A dosimetry procedure based on storage phosphors with short fading time.
Problem of retrieving data on exposure to radiation from storage phosphors characterised by short fading time in unpredictably long exposure times is addressed from a numerical point of view. A simple algorithm is presented for the case of first kinetic order. Extension to a generic kinetic order is possible provided a suitable characterisation of the fading features is performed. Simulations are also presented where temperature and reading effects, as well as error measurements, are taken into account.
