FIGURE 2. Fit results for dose measurement with TLD chip. Asymptotic limit is accumulated dose on left pectoral muscle of patient at infinity, when source activity is totally decayed. This figure shows procedure to obtain hospitalization time. Goodness of fit was tested with reduced {chi}2 test ({chi}2/v) (10).
