A management system for thermoluminescence dosimetry

Abstract A TLD management system was developed on a NeXT Step environment.It is consi-sting of 6 major items - A Harshaw/Bicron reader 5500 was interfaced to a NeXT workstation - Glow curve deconvolution can be performed under graphical control - A standard data evaluation is available with automated glow curve deconvolution and pro-tocol - In case of noisy glow curves a low dose evaluation can be applied, which uses background subtraction and Fourier filtering - Statistical evaluation of calibration measurements and a comfortable method for defining the individual calibration factors are available The possibility of a graphical comparison of glow curves is integrated.
