Abstract
A radiothermoluminescence dosimetry system based on an automated reader has been developed. The system utilizes the high sensitivity of the dosimeter material after heating. Thermal treatment is limited to the temperature process in connection with read-out. The measurement values are punched out automatically on paper tape and calculations performed by means of a minicomputer PDP 8/E. The dosimetric system meets the needs of routine use in clinical environment. Recommendations for the practical use of the system are given.
