Appendix to Iaea Calibration Certificate Well Type Chamber and Electrometer Calibration Procedure at the Iaea Dosimetry Laboratory

چکیده
At SSDLs the recommended detector for the calibration of all brachytherapy photon sources, as well as for the calibration of intravascular beta sources, is an appropriately calibrated well type chamber. For SSDLs the preferred method for traceability in the source calibrations is to have the well type chamber calibrated against the primary standard at the PSDL. However, due to practical reasons, calibrations at an Accredited Dosimetry Laboratory or the IAEA Dosimetry Laboratory, which are traceable to a PSDL, can be used as an alternative [1]. This calibration should be carried out for each radionuclide and source type to be used.

A Comparison of dosimetric parameters between IAEA TRS-398, AAPM TG-51 protocols and Monte-Carlo simulation
Background: Two protocols of AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398 were compared followed by a measurement and Monte Carlo simulation of beam quality correction factor, KQ, AAPM TG-51 and IAEA TRS-398 protocols were compared for the absorbed dose to water for DW, and KQ parameters. Materials and Methods: Dose measurements by either protocols were performed with cylindrical and plane parallel ch...

A comparison of air kerma-length product determinations for standard radiation qualities defined for use in computed tomography (CT) was performed between the PTB and the IAEA as EURAMET project #1327, registered in the KCDB as the EURAMET.RI(I)-S12 comparison. A pencil type reference-class ionization chamber of the IAEA and the three RQT beam qualities established according to the IEC standard...
متن کاملAir Kerma Based Dosimetry versus Absorbed Dose to Water Based Dosimetry for High-energy Photon
Introduction: In the last 5 years the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group 51 (AAPM TG-51) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) published a new high-energy photon and electron dosimetry protocol. These protocols are based on the use of an ion chamber having an absorbed-dose to water calibration factor. These are different from the previous NCS report-2 and IAEA...
متن کاملStudy of the influence of phantom material and size on the calibration of ionization chambers in terms of absorbed dose to water
In the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) code of practice (TRS 398) and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine's dosimetry protocol (TG-51), full-scatter water phantoms are recommended for the determination of the absorbed dose for both photon and electron beams and, consequently, for the calibration of the user's ionization chambers. This procedure is applied in the Secon...
متن کاملSome steps towards establishing a tertiary standard dosimetry laboratory at a radiotherapy department
Background: In order to deliver the precise dose to the target in radiotherapy, absorbed dose to water at the reference point should be assessed. When the calibration procedure is performed for a reference dosimeter in the 60Co beam of a Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL), the total uncertainty in absorbed dose to water (Dw) is estimated to be approximately 1.5%. This study attempts...
