ABSTRACT:
System and method for extremity dosimetry, that emables the maintenance of a chain of custody from dosimeter issuance to dosimeter read and further through multiple reuses of the dosimeter, are uniquely characterized by a reusable extremity dosimeter comprising a solid thermoluminescent (TL) body affixed as by bonding to a non-luminescent substrate that has integrally associated therewith indicia embodying a machine readable identification code. A preferred holder for the extremity dosimeter comprises a generally flat and flexible pouch that may be disposable, the dosimeter pouch including at least one pocket for containing the extremity dosimeter. Provision is made for attaching the dosimeter pouch to the body of a user at a specified extremity location such as a finger, wrist, toe, ankle, elbow, knee, forehead, etc. Also disclosed is a carrier for enabling the reading of the extremity dosimeters in TLD readers designed to read TLD cards containing multiple TL elements.
