This paper reports initial attempts to apply a thermoluminescent (TL) reader with CCD camera to identify cases of static and dynamic exposure of personal dosemeters to doses relevant for radiation protection. Standard MTS-N (LiF:Mg,Ti) and MCP-N (LiF:Mg,Cu,P) TL pellets with diameter of 4.5 mm and thickness of 0.9 mm were used in a standard DOSACUS/RADOS personal dosimetry badge (holder). Pb, Cu and Al filters were installed instead of the standard Al 264 mg cm–2 filters used in the RADOS badge. The badges were exposed statically and dynamically to X rays ranging from 28 keV (molybdenum anode) to 125 keV (tungsten anode) and to 137Cs (662 keV) gamma rays. The absorbed doses (in tissue) ranged from 20 to 100 mSv. Detectors were readout in the CCD reader and 2-D images were collected. The results obtained indicated that it was possible to identify the static, front exposure of the personal dosemeters equipped with Cu filter for doses >20 mGy for X rays up to 125 keV.
