Calibration of a thermoluminescent dosimeter worn over lead aprons in fluoroscopy guided procedures

In this study, a passive personal thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) was
modelled by means of the Monte Carlo (MC) code Penelope. The results obtained were validated against
measurements performed in reference conditions in a secondary standard dosimetry laboratory. Next,
the MC model was used to evaluate the backscatter correction factor needed for the case where the
dosimeter is worn...
