title: [Energy characteristics and examination of the dose correction of each element type in small size radiophotoluminescence glass dosimetry element system].
abstract: We studied energy characteristics and examined dose correction when using a radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter (GD). There are two types of GD. One type of GD is called GD-352, which consists of a glass element and Sn filter. Another type of GD is called GD-302, which has no additional filter. Energy characteristics of these two types of GDs were investigated using a diagnostic X-ray energy range. The equation is as follows: Cf (correction factor) = average of GD measured value/air kerma. The compensation formula for estimating air kerma with each X-ray energy was determined from an approximation formula based on the ratio between GD system reading and air kerma with a specific X-ray energy. From compensation results obtained using the formula, the error for air kerma using GD-352 was approximately 0%, and the error using GD-302 was about 1.0%.
