The front of the white paper packet of the OSL dosimeters may be color-coded to facilitate correct usage and placement of the badge on the body of occupationally exposed personnel.
OSL dosimeters are recently developed and are of high quality than thermoluminescent dosimeters. It is used to monitor patients health status. Furthermore, it is very sensitive to any change or drop in reading. it give accurate readings even at 1 mrem for both gamma ray photos and X-rays.
