We have examined a dosimetry characteristic of carbonate hydroxyapatite (CO3HAp), which is a dental bone graft material. The purpose of this work is to investigate the reproducibility and stability of radiation-induced radicals on CO3HAp samples and assess the feasibility of using these materials as dosemeters. CO3HAp samples were exposed to gamma rays with dose range from 10 to 10 000 Gy. The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra for irradiated samples were measured. Variation of peak-to-peak amplitude of the ESR signal intensity as a function of absorbed dose for CO3HAp was compared with that for alanine dosemeters, suggesting that the CO3HAp sample has a good linear dose response in the range from 10 to 10 000 Gy as well as does the alanine dosemeters.
