Abstract
Different methods of spectra evaluation and dose reconstruction in ret rospective EPR dosimetry with tooth enamel have been compared in this study. Experiments with teeth irradiated with known doses have shown t hat dosimetry above 1 Gy using a dose effect curve is, with a standard deviation of 10%, the best method. As a second result it is shown tha t dosimetry down to 100 mGy with a standard deviation of 15% is possib le. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
