How to convert the TLD reading "(Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) to effective dose, ESK and absorb dose?
1/Here you have to priorly calibrate the TLD system as per the quantity required. Hp(10) is conservative measure of effective dose and generally takes care most of the field condition faced by workers. Please note that effective dose is protection quantity and Hp(10) is operational quantity. Similarly Hp(0.07) is conservative estimate of skin dose (equivalent ). Generally ICRU/ISO given onversion coefficients are used to convert air kerma to Hp(10) or Hp(0.07) while establishing calibation for given TLD badge and performing ISO recommended phantom.
2/If your air kerma is 1 mGy for Cs source and standard conversion coefficient (CC) is say 1.21, then Hp(10)=1.21 mSv.Irradiate your TLD on phantom and the output signal obtained after subtracting the background = 1.21 mSv if you deliver air kerma of 1 mGy of Cs. Various CC are available for different energies separately for Hp(10) and Hp(0.07). For CC refer to ISO reports.
3/Similarly for Hp(0.07). Which type of TLD system you are presently using. Following link

Success!
@Abuzaid Hp(10) and Hp(0.07) may not be required directly/as it is in future. Better use mili or micro Gy for medical radiation dosimetry purposes.
