AbstractAbstract
[en] Electronic dosimeters, due to direct reading, have been increasingly used for individual or area monitoring for purposes of radiation protection in X-ray fields used in diagnostic radiology. Deficiencies of performance in pulsed beams of such dosimeters have been published, which are not detected by the calibration procedures and performance tests established by international standards only for continuous beams of radiation. In Brazil, there are no performance requirements of dosimeters in pulsed beams, or a laboratory that performs testing for reliability in the use of dosimeters. This study aims to characterize the X-ray machine Medical VMI 800 Plus in the Laboratory Calibration of Dosimeters of CDTN/CNEN - Brazilian CNEN institute - and study the feasibility of its use for performance testing of electronic dosimeters.
