Radiation Protection Dosimetry in Pulsed Radiation Fields
The application of pulsed radiation fields for research, security screening and medical examinations has increased remarkably in the last years. Testing of active personal and area dosemeters for the operation in pulsed radiation fields is a necessity to judge the suitability of the dosemeter. Up to now, radiation protection dosemeters have only been tested in continuous fields, although they a...
متن کاملReference dosimetry and small - field dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy : Results from a Danish intercomparison study
max. 2000 char.): A comparison of dosimetry methods at different clinics can be used as a means to uncover systematic uncertainties in radiotherapy. To assess the current status of reference dosimetry and small-field dosimetry in clinical practice, a collaborative comparison study involving several dosimetry methods was performed by DTU Nutech at six Danish clinics. The first part of the interc...
متن کاملStandard calibration of ionization chambers used in radiation therapy dosimetry and evaluation of uncertainties
Background: Absolute dosimetry of external beam radiotherapy is carried out by the use of ionization chambers. These chambers must be calibrated at a standard dosimetry laboratory before any use in clinical dosimetry. The secondary standard dosimetry laboratory of Iran (SSDL) has the duty of calibrating the ionization chambers used in radiotherapy centers in Iran. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملSkin in vivo Dosimetry in Radiotherapy
Introduction: Due to the prevalence of skin problems in patients after radiotherapy, skin dose measuring is importance. Content: Skin in vivo dosimetry means measuring the patient's (or phantom) skin dose during radiotherapy. According to the ICRP 59, the dose at the depth of 0.07 mm is known as a skin dose. The most radiosensitive epidermis cells are located...
متن کاملSmall field dosimetry for the small animal radiotherapy research platform (SARRP)
BACKGROUND Preclinical radiation biology has become increasingly sophisticated due to the implementation of advanced small animal image guided radiation platforms into laboratory investigation. These small animal radiotherapy devices enable state-of-the-art image guided therapy (IGRT) research to be performed by combining high-resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging with an isoc...
