Characterization of Recombination Effects in a Liquid Ionization Chamber Used for the Dosimetry of a Radiosurgical Accelerator
Published on: May 9, 2014
Abstract:
Skin exposure rate was measured on 22 low-voltage therapeutic X-ray generators at an FSD of 15 cm at each of four standard kV steps. The measurements of two consecutive years were compared and their variance was analyzed. The statistical fluctuation of these field measurements due to the ionization method was 2.58%. According to the present measurements the high inaccuracies of low-voltage X-ray therapy are mainly due to the lack of reproducibility of the X-ray generators and an insufficient calibration of the dosemeters.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
