Examination of general cavity theory for magnesium and titanium doped lithium fluoride (TLD-100) of varying thicknesses in bone and lung

The (f)medTLD calculated with Burlin theory agreed well with MC results for 6 MV photon beam. Nevertheless, the difficulty and the ambiguity in the determination of β and g in a given medium and the energy spectrum under investigation limited the theoretical calculations and resulted in large uncertainty. This study suggests the use of MC for easy and accurate estimation of(f)medTLD, which is required in radiological applications to convert TLD measured dose to dose in medium.
