Purpose For x‐ray beams in the low and medium energy range, reference dosimetry is
established in terms of air kerma. Fricke dosimetry has shown great potential in the absolute …

In order to determine absorbed dose to water from an in-phantom measurement by an
ionisation chamber, three corrections need to be applied:(a) the ratio of water and air mass …

The Fricke dosimeter is the most used, liquid chemical dosimeter. It has been shown to be a
feasible option for the absorbed dose standard. The present work aims to determinate a …

Solid phantoms are widely used in radiation therapy for both relative and reference
dosimetry. Two water equivalent phantoms, RMI-457 Solid Water and Plastic Water, were …

We have studied the procedure commonly recommended by dosimetry protocols for the
determination of the absorbed dose in water for low-energy x-rays beams, generated with …

An evaluation of the dose conversion factor from graphite to water is essential to measure
the absorbed dose to water using a graphite calorimeter. However, it is difficult to obtain the …

Abstract The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) established a new
standard of the absorbed dose to water in LINAC X-ray beams. To confirm the equivalence …

This paper evaluates the characteristics of ionization chambers for the measurement of
absorbed dose to water for medium-energy x-rays. The values of the chamber correction …

Purpose This work seeks to investigate new methods to determine the absorbed dose to
water from kilovoltage x rays. Current methods are based on measurements in air and rely …

In brachytherapy, as in any form of radiation therapy, accurate dosimetry in terms of
absorbed dose to water is required. The output of brachytherapy sources has, up to now …
