摘要:A photoluminescence glass dosimeter, GD-301, was applied to the measurement of low absorbed doses in mice exposed to low-dose rate 137 Cs γ-rays. The dosimeter system consists of small rod-shaped glass chip detectors capable of embedded in the body of a mouse and an automatic readout device equipped with a standard detector irradiated with 137 Cs γ-source. The measured absorbed doses were compared with the "exposure" estimated by an ionization chamber and with the doses measured by a BeO:Na thermoluminescence system. The results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the glass dosimetry regarding simplicity of operation, stability of long-term dose accumulation and good detector uniformity, which allow accurate tissue dosimetry.
