Terms and definitions in the field of radiological technology. Begriffe und Benennungen in der radiologischen Technik

Abstract

The radiation field condition ''secondary electron equilibrium'' as part of the definition for the standard ion dose is specified. The term ''free in air'' gets - contrary to DIN 6814, sec. 3, June 1972 issue - its original meaning, i.e. the definition of measuring conditions eliminating avoidable scatter. For measuring the standard ion dose, dose meters are calibrated ''free in air''. The quantity ''Standard ion dose'' can be measured in any material. The quantitative ratios between standard ion dose and the quantities ''exposure'' and ''air kerma'' as per ICRU report 33 ''Quantities and Units'' (1980) are described. The SI-units Gray, Sievert and Becquerel are introduced. For the quantities ''core dose rate'' ''dose rate constant'' and ''aereal dose product'' new definitions are given, according to the ICRU report 33, using the terms ''absorbed dose'' and ''kerma''.
