Development of human hand phantom containing radiophotoluminescence material

An RPL material hand phantom was fabricated to understand the extremity dosimetry of a radiation worker's hand. The hand phantom was exposed to X-rays, and its surface dose profile was obtained by the RPL scanner. Subsequently, the hand phantom was sliced into dozens of square plates using a diamond wire saw. Each inner dose profile was obtained with the RPL scanner. The inner dose profiles were roughly consistent with the computational simulation results. These results indicated that RPL imaging of the hand phantom was useful to understand extremity dosimetry.
