Abstract
Four different techniques for calibrating lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters were compared at two beam qualities in the diagnostic energy range. The techniques included in-air, saturation backscatter, and Bureau of Radiological Health (BRH) test stand geometry with and without an ionization chamber. The results indicate that there are no statistical differences between any of the calibration techniques evaluated. Hence, the technique using the BRH test stand with an ionization chamber is a simple and reproducible calibration procedure which may be used in a routine diagnostic radiology quality assurance program.
