Fundamentals of Dosimetry Sample Clauses

Fundamentals of Dosimetry. ‌ Objective: The purpose of this module is to comprehend the physical basis of dosimetry, introduce different theories and describe the principle of operation of the various types of dosimeters. Standard quantities and units are introduced so that dosimetric formalisms of radioactive decay, radiation interactions and the radiation field can then be discussed. All radiation measurements rely heavily on applications of charged-particle equilibrium and/or cavity theory; hence these areas must be covered in detail. Content: • Fundamental concepts of dosimetry (energy transfer and deposition) • Quantities and units according to the International Commission on Radiological Units and Measurements (ICRU) o Activity o Fluence, energy fluence, planar fluence o Exposure, kerma, cema o Absorbed dose o Equivalent dose o Effective dose o Relationship between various quantities o Electronic equilibrium concept • Cavity theory and charged particle equilibrium (CPE) o Xxxxx-Xxxx theory o Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx theory x Xxxxxx theory o Total CPE o Transient CPE • Fano theorem o concepts • Detectors and dosimeters o Gas based dosimeters ▪ Ionization chamber ▪ Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx counter ▪ Proportional counter o Solid state dosimeter ▪ Thermoluminescence ▪ Scintillation ▪ Diodes ▪ Mosfets ▪ Others (flat panels, Photo Stimulable Phosphors (PSPs), etc.) o Chemical dosimeters ▪ Film ▪ Xxxxx ▪ Gel o Calorimetry • International radiation dose calibration chain o Formalisms o Primary Standard Dosimetry Laboratories (PSDLs) o Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs) o User cross-calibration
