A systematic characterization of the low-energy photon response of plastic scintillation detectors

Abstract A commercially available active extremity dosemeter is a promising candidate for medical staff aid individual monitoring of the eye lens. We investigated the applicability of the newly developed active extremity dosemeter, which uses a low-energy photon probe, to eye lens dose monitoring by performing a complete characterization of the dosemeters. Performance tests revealed that the active extremity dosemeter would overestimate personal dose equivalent, Hp(3), when the probe is worn close to the lens of the eye of a medial worker without any improvement in the response. Introducing an appropriate filter into the probe for low-energy photon has proven to improve the response. The dosemeter then satisfies the criteria of the personal dosemeter for eye lens dosimetry and can be applicable to individual monitoring of eye lens dose. This article also discusses the applicability of the dosemeter to area monitoring for decision making regarding additional monitoring of the eye lens and the extremities.
