Determining Albedo Neutron Dose Using LiF: MCP and a Dose Calculation Algorithm

Tladi, Modise Boaz (Georgetown University, 2022)

Thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) techniques employing lithium fluoride doped with magnesium and titanium (LiF:Mg,Ti) (commonly known as TLD 100) has been widely used in many laboratories for occupational dose monitoring, ...
Estimation of Peak Skin Dose and Its Relation to the Size-Specific Dose Estimate

Abdullah, Abdullatif S (Georgetown University, 2022)

The study tests the concept that the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) and the Computed Tomography Dose Index volume (CTDIvol) have a significant association with the peak skin dose (PSD). To determine the relationship ...
A Prospective Study for the Dose Calculation of the Thyroid and Salivary Glands for Prostate Cancer Patients

Lopez, Jose (Georgetown University, 2023)

Studies involving dose to the thyroid for medical treatments have not been documented in recent years despite the increase in treatment via nuclear medicine to treat various cancers. Most thyroid dose calculations have ...
