A code of practice for the dosimetry of 2 to 35 MV X-ray and caesium-137 and cobalt-60 gamma-ray beams

REVIEW ARTICLE


REPORT

The code recommends a procedure and quotes numerical data which allow an ionization chamber, having an exposure calibration factor at one quality in the megavolt range (i.e. 2Mv X-rays or 60Co gamma rays) to be used to determine the absorbed dose in rads at a point in water irradiated by X-rays generated at voltages in the range 2 MV to 35 MV or by 137Cs or 60Co gamma rays. A basis for the determination of the absorbed dose is provided by the code with a high degree of consistency and minimal error.
