To evaluate the feasibility and dose–response characteristics of TLD-100 dosimeters under radiotherapy conditions delivering high doses per fraction up to 30 Gy.
Two batches of 50 TLD-100 (LiF: Mg, Ti) dosimeters were irradiated across 0 to 30 Gy using 6-MV photon and 6-MeV electron beams.
The element correction factor (ECF) generation procedure was implemented to evaluate and mitigate detector response variability.
Linear and quadratic regression calibration curves were fitted across 0–8 Gy, 0–10 Gy, and 0–30 Gy, with optimal model selection determined by the Akaike Information Criterion.
Application of the ECF method reduced the response coefficient of variation from baseline levels above 5% to approximately 3.5% across all exposed batches.
Dose-response curves demonstrated strict linearity up to 10 Gy for both 6-MV photon and 6-MeV electron beams.
A supralinear response trend was confirmed at doses exceeding 10 Gy up to 30 Gy, establishing the dosimeter's viability for single fractions up to 30 Gy when appropriately modeled.
