Abstract
We report Alanine Dosimeter preparation, procedures for using the ESR/Dosim etry method, and the resulting calibration curve for gamma-irradiation in t he range from 10-30 Gy. We use calibration curve to measure the irradiation dose in gamma-irradiation of human blood, as required in Blood Transfusion Therapy. The ESR/Alanine results are compared against those obtained using the thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) method. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Lt d. All rights reserved.
