Performance of optically stimulated luminescence Al₂O₃ dosimeter for low doses of diagnostic energy X-rays.

Personal dosimeters measure the radiation dose from exposure to hazardous sources outside the body. The present manuscript evaluates the performance of a commercially available optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) Al₂O₃ dosimeter using diagnostic energy X-rays. The OSL system satisfies the ANSI N13.
