Description

One of the essential problems the medical and industrial user of radiations is up against is to achieve and retain correct calibration of his work dosemeter for the various types of beams utilised. The accuracy as to the doses delivered is directly linked to that of this calibration. To do so, attention is drawn to the importance of defining references and that two kinds of references can be considered; the references are either appropriate detectors or they are photon beams. It is the latter assumption that has been chosen and developed

Abstract (French)

L'un des problemes essentiel qui se pose a l'utilisateur medical et industriel de rayonnements est d'obtenir et de conserver un etalonnage correct de son dosimetre de travail pour les differents types de faisceaux utilises. L'exactitude sur les doses delivrees est directement liee a celle de cet etalonnage. Pour ce faire, on rappelle qu'il est important de definir des references et que deux types de references peuvent etre envisagees: ou les references sont des detecteurs appropries, ou les references sont des faisceaux de photons. C'est cette derniere hypothese qui a ete retenue et qui est developpee
