Energy dependence of correction factors for some Victoreen Model 570 Condensor R-Meter medium-energy chambers
Abstract:
The energy dependence of each of six models of medium-energy Victoreen 570 Condenser R-Meter chambers was determined by measurement of the exposure correction factors over the diagnostic x-ray beam-quality range (0.4-4.1 mm A1 HVL) for several samples of each model. The results of an analysis of variance performed by model on the correction factors are reported as mean correction factors for the x-ray beams evaluated, with a relative standard error less than 0.8% in all cases. Energy-dependence curves for the six chamber models are given; their use is described.
