Abstract
Thermoluminescent microdosimeters containing lithium fluoride and calcium fluoride were used to investigate the effective energy and dose distribution in four rat cadavers exposed to 250 kVp X-irradiation. Irradiation procedures in use at this institution were employed for the animal exposures, and cross comparisons of effective energy and dose distribution were made. The effective energy and dose distributions were also compared with published data where possible.
