materiais dosimétricos, dosímetros, dosimetria pessoal, dosimetria clínicaAbstract
Este artigo apresenta o estado da arte dos materiais dosimétricos para aplicações em dosimetria pessoal e clínica. O objetivo é fornecer uma visão geral das vantagens e limitações dos dosímetros comerciais disponíveis mais usados, bem como novos materiais estudados na atualidade. Resumimos trabalhos recentes publicados sobre materiais cristalinos e vítreos mais discutidos e com melhores perspectivas para uso prático em dosimetria por Termoluminescência (TL), Luminescência Opticamente Estimulada (OSL), Radiofotoluminescência (RPL) e Ressonância de Spin Eletrônico (ESR), e ainda géis, dosímetros plásticos e emulsões superaquecidas. São tratadas novas formas de uso desses materiais, como fibras para dosimetria ativa, filmes dosimétricos para dosimetria 2D, e materiais que possam ser usados em dosimetria tridimensional. Os trabalhos atuais demonstram uma clara tendência da opção do uso cada vez maior de optoeletrônica para obtenção dos sinais e sua leitura.
