Abstract

Absorbed dose in water was analyzed by Burlin's general cavity theory for medium X-ray energy region (HVL : 0.29, 0.84, 1.60, 2.62mm Cu) using LiF : PTFE TL dosimeter(0.4 mm ${\times}\;{\phi}$ 12.5mm, hot-pressed LiF TLD-700) which was enclosed in lucite capsule. The absorbed dose rate at 5cm depth in water phantom was determined with measurement error of ${\pm}5%$. This result was compared to that of the ionization method, indirectly absolute measurement method, of which measurement error of ${\pm}2%$. The difference between these two results lies within measurement error of LiF : PTFE method. Therefore, the absorbed dose in water obtained by LiF: PTFE is reliable, and this result suggests the base to estimate dose-equivalent for medium X-rays.
