{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency Set of 189 slides based on the Chapter authored by P. Andreo, Seuntjens, and Podgorsak of the IAEA publication (ISBN 92-0-107304-6): Radiation Oncology Physics: A Handbook for Teachers and Students Objective: To familiarize the student with the basic principles of radiation dosimetry. Chapter 9: Calibration of Photon and Electron Beams Slide set prepared in 2006 by Podgorsak (Montreal, McGill University) Comments to S. Vatnitsky: Version 2012 IAEA Radiation Oncology Physics: A Handbook for Teachers and Students - 9. Chapter 9. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Ionization chamber based dosimetry Corrections for influence quantities Determination of dose using calibrated chambers Stopping power ratios Mass-energy absorption coefficient ratios Perturbation correction factors Beam quality specification Calibration of MV Photon and Electron Beams Kilovoltage dosimetry Error and uncertainti
as a measure of absorbed dose. The best known chemical radiation dosimeter is the Fricke dosimeter which relies on oxidation of ferrous ions into ferric ions in an irradiated ferrous sulfate FeSO 4 solution. (Fe 2 ) (Fe 3 )
