Determination of absorbed dose calibration factors for therapy level electron beam ionization chambers.
Over several years the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has been developing an absorbed dose calibration service for electron beam radiotherapy. To test this service, a number of trial calibrations of therapy level electron beam ionization chambers have been carried out during the last 3 years. These trials involved 17 UK radiotherapy centres supplying a total of 46 chambers of the NACP, Mark...
متن کاملThe calibration and use of plane-parallel ionization chambers for dosimetry of electron beams.
The AAPM TG 39 protocol has proposed three different methods of calibrating plane-parallel ionization chambers, i.e., in-phantom irradiation with a high-energy electron beam and in-phantom and in-air 60Co irradiation. To verify the consistency of the three methods, we have measured Ngaspp values using each of these techniques for the five most commonly used plane-parallel chambers considered by...
متن کاملTwo New Parallel-plate Ionization Chambers for Electron Beam Dosimetry
-Two parallel-plate ionization chambers were projected, constructed and evauated for use in high energy electron beams. They were constructed using the two plastic materials recommended for clinical dosimetry protocols, i.e. acrylic and polystyrene. Both chambers have cylindrical shape with entrance windows in aluminized Mylar and they are open to the air. The acrylic chamber has a 2 mm air gap...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations of correction factors for plane-parallel ionization chambers in clinical electron dosimetry.
Recent standard dosimetry protocols recommend that plane-parallel ionization chambers be used in the measurements of depth-dose distributions or the calibration of low-energy electron beams with beam quality R50 <4 g/cm2. In electron dosimetry protocols with the plane-parallel chambers, the wall correction factor, Pwall, in water is assumed to be unity and the replacement correction factor, Pre...
متن کاملStability Study of Ionization Chambers in Standard Mammography Radiation Beams
The ionization chambers are widely utilized in diagnostic radiology quality control and dosimetry. They are simple to use, and can be found commercially in various types depending on their applications. They are the recommended devices for the determination of the beam qualities in mammographic range. To assure the reliability of the measurements, the stability of the response of the ionization...
