Creator:: Chorzempa, Mary André, Sister
Abstract:: Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring methods...

Creator:: Braby, L. A.
Abstract:: The energy absorbed by microscopic volumes exposed to ionizing radiation is not well represented by the average dose due to the small number of discrete energy transfers involved. The energy deposited in a microscopic volume can be determined by measuring the ionization in a detector filled with gas at low...

Creator:: Barone, Gregory Joseph
Abstract:: There has been a large increase in the number of three-phase diagnostic x-ray systems installed in hospital special-procedure rooms during the last decade. The reason for this is the capability of three-phase systems of making possible the very short exposure times and increased tube loading required for some of the...

Creator:: Egan, Alexander J.
Abstract:: Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms are widely accepted as the most accurate method to calculate dose in a patient geometry. For this work the EGSnrc MC code was used as a benchmark for the identification of dose calculation errors produced by the widely implemented analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA). By correlating the...
