Phantoms and Quantities for the Calibration of Personal Dosemeters

D.T. Bartlett, P.J. Dimbylow and T.M. Francis

The calibration of a personal dosemeter/dosimetry system is the determination of the relationship of the magnitude of the response of the dosemeter/dosimetry system to the magnitude of a given quantity. The term calibration includes type testing where this relationship is determined throughout the range of applicable radiation fields, and also routine performance assessments where only a few field conditions may be used. The method of calibration and whether and what form of phantom is required depends on the quantity to be estimated. Where this quantity is one defined in the human body or in a phantom, calibration will normally be carried out on a phantom. This paper discusses the choice of quantity and choice of phantom.
