Description

A very important step in a quality control program, at calibration laboratories, is the establishment of laboratory intercomparisons. In this work, a comparison between the calibration laboratories of IPEN/CNEN-SP and CDTN/CNEN-MG was carried out, as part of the quality control program in the metrological network established by the project 'National Institutes of Science and Technology - Radiation Metrology in Medicine'. The comparisons were undertaken for direct and attenuated diagnostic radiology quality beams RQR and RQA. The results showed a good agreement between both calibration laboratories. (author)
