Considerable difficulties arise in measuring absorbed doses of ..beta.. radiation in biological objects, and they are related to the specifics of passage of ..beta.. radiation through a substance, when the angular and spectral distribution changes radically deep in the absorber. From this point of view, it is expedient to use tissue-equivalent reference detectors of a small size to measure absorbed doses of ..beta..-radiation. Thermoluminescent lithium fluoride, for example, has such properties, and it can be used in the form of powder, compressed tablets, etc. The objective here was to define the dosimetric characteristics of lithium fluoride detectors and use thereof to measure absorbed doses in biological objects exposed to external ..beta.. radiation.
