The PET-MRI which has been installed and being managed recently uses both magnetic field and radiation. Most radiation workers wear a thermoluminescenct dosimeter (TLD) as a personal radiation dosimeter, and the TLD is affected both by a magnetic field and radiation. In this research, the same amount of X-ray was applied to 36 TLDs, and the changes in the dose of the 32 TLDs exposed to magnetic field at the location where its intensity of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was about 5000 Gauss for eight hours with one-hour unit and that of the four TLDs not exposed to magnetic field were compared and checked. The measurement result showed that exposure dose of the TLD attached to the MRI changed irregularly depending on the amount of exposure time. Therefore, the TLD whose amount of changes little in the environment of a MRI is demanded to be developed.
