Descriptor Spanish: Dosimetría Termoluminiscente
Descriptor dosimetría termoluminiscente
Scope note: Utilización de un dispositivo que consta de un material termoluminiscente para medir la exposición a las RADIACIONES IONIZANTES. El material termoluminiscente emite luz cuando se calienta. La cantidad de luz emitida es proporcional a la cantidad de radiación ionizante a que ha estado expuesto el material.
