Calibration and periodic recalibration of these applicators to verify the absorbed dose rate is essential to ensure accuracy in clinical treatments. In this work the thermoluminescent response of BeO and μLiF pellets was evaluated, determining the reproducibility, linearity of response and their dose-response curves. This standard, for this type of calibration, recommends the use of small detectors such as μLiF. Therefore, the utility of μLiF and BeO in the calibration of clinical applicators was compared.openAccessberyllium oxideslithium fluoridesbeta particlescalibrationcomparative evaluationsdosimetryradiation sourcestherapythermoluminescenceTexto completo de evento0000-0002-7362-2455https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7362-2455
