Cross Calibration of Field Ionization Chambers in High Energy Photon Beams

E-learning Course
Cross Calibration of Field Ionization Chambers in High Energy Photon Beams

To support the work of clinical medical physicists, the IAEA is committed to developing and disseminating best practices to ensure that procedures under the responsibility of medical physicists, such as quality control and calibration, are performed with the utmost safety and quality, for the ultimate benefit of patients.

For this reason, the IAEA developed a video tutorial demonstrating and explaining the procedure of cross calibrating a field ionization chamber according to IAEA TRS 398 guidelines.

The video-tutorial is intended to be used by clinically qualified medical physicists (CQMP) and presupposes underlying knowledge in the field of radiotherapy. IAEA publications and content relevant to radiotherapy calibrations can be found on a dedicated webpage.
