Description

This paper presents the experimental estimation of the conversion factors between dose equivalents and measured quantity, the air kerma in free air, for external photon radiations. The measurements, in the irradiation geometry of anterior, superior and inferior, were made with the thermoluminescent dosimeters inside an anthropomorphic RANDO Phantom. These measured values of conversion factors were compared with calculated ones by means of Monte-Carlo simulation method under the same irradiation conditions; both of them are in good agreement within a deviation of about 20%.
