    Quantities for dosimetry of ionizing radiations in liquid water / D.E. Watt - Details - Trove

    Description Table of Contents. Summary Intended as a reference handbook of quantities used in dosimetry of ionizing radiations.

    Fields of application are radiological protection, environmental radiation, health physics, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy, radiobiology, radiopharmacy and radiation chemistry. The book is in three parts.

    The first part deals with electrons, X-rays and gamma-rays. The second part contains data for heavy charged particles ranging from protons to uranium ions, and the final part is concerned with neutrons. Quantities tabulated include quality paramenters recommended by the International Commissions of Radiological Protection and of radiation quantities units and measurements.

When the absorbed dose is not uniform, or when it is only applied to a portion of a body or object, an absorbed dose representative of the entire item can be calculated by taking a mass-weighted average of the absorbed doses at each point.

    Non-uniform absorbed dose is common for soft radiations such as low energy x-rays or beta radiation. Self-shielding means that the absorbed dose will be higher in the tissues facing the source than deeper in the body.

    The mass average can be important in evaluating the risks of radiotherapy treatments, since they are designed to target very specific volumes in the body, typically a tumour. Additional dosimetry calculations would have to be performed on these figures to arrive at a meaningful effective dose, which is needed to estimate the risk of cancer or other stochastic effects.

    When ionizing radiation is used to treat cancer, the doctor will usually prescribe the radiotherapy treatment in units of gray. Medical imaging doses may be described in units of coulomb per kilogram , but when radiopharmaceuticals are used, they will usually be administered in units of becquerel.

    Absorbed dose is also used to manage the irradiation and measure the effects of ionising radiation on inanimate matter in a number of fields. Absorbed dose is used to rate the survivability of devices such as electronic components in ionizing radiation environments.

    To protect against breathing in radioactive particles in ambient air, respirators with particulate filters are worn. Retrieved 13 February To represent stochastic risk the equivalent dose H T and effective dose E are used, and appropriate dose factors and coefficients are used to calculate these from the absorbed dose.

    The measurement of absorbed dose absorbed by inanimate matter is vital in the process of radiation hardening which improves the resistance of electronic devices to radiation effects. Absorbed dose is the physical dose quantity used to ensure irradiated food has received the correct dose to ensure effectiveness.

    Although the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission permits the use of the units curie , rad , and rem alongside SI units, [6] the European Union European units of measurement directives required that their use for "public health From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
