Abstract

Problem of retrieving data on exposure to radiation from storage phosphors characterised by short fading time in unpredictably long exposure times is addressed from a numerical point of view. A simple algorithm is presented for the case of first kinetic order. Extension to a generic kinetic order is possible provided a suitable characterisation of the fading features is performed. Simulations are also presented where temperature and reading effects, as well as error measurements, are taken into account.
