DEPTH-DOSIMETRY FOR 250-KVP X RAYS BY MEANS OF A GEL-INCORPORATED CHEMICAL SYSTEM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4252560
The method used to measure depth-dose distribution for low-energy x rays in a rotated dog phantom was employed in a similar measurement for 250-kvp x rays. It consists of a chemical dosimeter (trichloroethylene) incorporated into a firm aqueous gel. The results show a slight rise in absorbed dose just below the surface, followed by a uniform dose throughout the rest of the phantom. This is contrasted with a bilateral exposure which shows a slight drop in absorbed dose at the center of the phantom. (auth)
