Ionization chambers are widely used in the nuclear industry as they provide an output that is proportional to radiation dose They find wide use in situations where a constant high dose rate is being measured as they have a greater operating lifetime than standard GeigerMller tubes, which suffer from gas break down and are generally limited to a life of about 1011 count events. 0000004001 00000 n
Parallel-plate chambers (PPIC) are shaped like a small disc, with circular collecting electrodes separated by a small gap, typically 2mm or less. [5], The efficiency of the chamber can be further increased by the use of a high-pressure gas. Multi-cavity ionization chambers can measure the intensity of the radiation beam in several different regions, providing beam symmetry and flatness information. HHS Vulnerability Disclosure, Help These chambers often have an end window made of material thin enough, such as mylar, so that beta particles can enter the gas volume. Otherwise, room and water phantom temperatures should remain within a close range.

[7], In medical physics and radiotherapy, ionization chambers are used to ensure that the dose delivered from a therapy unit[8] or radiopharmaceutical is what is intended. This generates an ionization current which is measured by an electrometer circuit in the region of femtoamperes to picoamperes, depending on the chamber design, and is proportional to the radiation dose. endstream

It is concluded that ion chamber correction factors can be divided into first order; temperature and pressure connection, second order; volume correction for thermal expansion, and third order; humidity correction. This means individual ionising events cannot be measured, so the energy of different types of radiation radiation cannot be differentiated, but it gives a very good measurement of overall ionising effect.

Comparison of the ion currents in the two chambers allows compensation for changes due to air pressure, temperature, or the ageing of the source.

The devices used for radiotherapy are called "reference dosimeters", while those used for radiopharmaceuticals are called radioisotope dose calibrators - an inexact name for radionuclide radioactivity calibrators, which are used for measurement of radioactivity but not absorbed dose. [2] Because of the very low currents generated, any stray leakage current must be kept to a minimum in order to preserve accuracy.
