Dosimetry and Medical Radiation Physics

Services provided by the IAEA Dosimetry Laboratory

A wide range of services is provided by the IAEA Subprogramme on Dosimetry and Medical Radiation Physics (DMRP). These are listed below:

  1. Calibration of ionization chambers (radiotherapy, mammography, and radiation protection).
    Radiation quality: x-rays (10 - 300 kV) and gamma rays from 137Cs and 60Co.
  2. Calibration of well-type ionization chambers for Low Dose Rate (LDR) brachytherapy.
    Radiation quality: gamma rays from 137Cs.
  3. Comparison of therapy level ionization chamber calibration coefficients (for SSDLs)
    Radiation quality: gamma rays from 60Co.
  4. TLD dose quality audits for external radiotherapy beams (for SSDLs and hospitals).
    Radiation quality: gamma rays from 60Co and high energy x-ray beams.
  5. TLD dose quality audits for radiation protection (for SSDLs).
    Radiation quality: gamma rays from 137Cs.
  6. Reference irradiations to dosimeters and blind irradiations for radiation protection. Radiation quality: x-rays (40 - 300 kV) and gamma rays from 137Cs and 60Co.
