AbstractAbstract
[en] The Argentine Total Body Counter Laboratory of the Nuclear Regulatory Authority participated in the last regional intercomparison Exercise organized in the frame of the IAEA Project RLA 9/066 related with in vivo measurements of 131I in the thyroid. There were identified some difficulties in determining the efficiency and calibration factor (CF) for the 131I when a source of 133Ba and a detector of NaI (Tl) are used in the calibration process. Independent measurements were performed for two calibration sources of known activity (133Ba and 131I) with identical geometry pattern and using a gamma spectrometry system with NaI(Ti) detector. It was found that the region of interest (ROI) which, both in the spectrum of 133Ba as in the spectrum of 131I, had the same efficiency. It was determined the activity of the source of 133Ba , distributed in the intercomparison, and the calibrated source of 131I using different values of efficiency and FC obtained. It was analyzed the conditions under which the use of 133Ba as a source of calibration is effective for the measurement of 131I. (authors)

El Laboratorio CTC de Argentina luego de participar en la intercomparacion Regional de mediciones in vivo de 131I en tiroides, identifico algunas dificultades relacionadas con la determinacion de la eficiencia η y del factor de calibracion FC para el 131I cuando se usa una fuente de 133Ba y un detector de NaI(Tl) en el proceso de calibracion. Se utiliza 133Ba porque este al emitir fotones de 356 KeV puede simular los fotones dominantes del 131I de 364 KeV, con la ventaja de tener un T1/2 mucho mayor. Sin embargo, el 133Ba tambien emite otros fotones que, en conjunto con los fotones de 356 KeV, no son posibles de resolver en un espectro tomado con un detector de NaI(Tl). Por tanto, no es sencilla la seleccion de la Region de Interes (RDI) en el espectro del 133Ba para la determinacion de la tasa de contaje, ni la asignacion de la emisividad (Y) correspondiente a esta region para el calculo de la η. El procedimiento recomendado en este caso establece que se debe elegir una RDI que abarque todo el rango de energias de emision gamma que tienen en comun el 133Ba y el 131I y asignarles un mismo valor de η. Se evaluan las condiciones bajo las cuales es efectivo este procedimiento para la evaluacion de la η y el FC. (autores)Original Title
