An injectable dosimeter for small animal irradiations
We have developed a novel in-vivo dosimeter based on glass encapsulated TLD rods. These encapsulated rods can be injected into mice and used for validating doses to an individual mouse in a protracted irradiation scenario where the mouse is free to move in an inhomogenous radiation field. Data from 30 irradiated mice shows a reliable dose reconstruction within 10% of the nominal delivered dose.
