Abstract：
:A measurement technique previously proposed for determining dose from primary radiation has been tested using 60Co gamma rays. It is shown that the dose from primary radiation is reliably determined for field sizes of 10 X 10 and 20 X 20 cm2 at depths of 0.5, 5, and 10 cm in water. With further development this technique may be useful for verifying dose from primary radiation that may be calculated using a variety of methods.

MEDICAL PHYSICS文献大全abstract：:Tissue absorbed dose (D) is a computed result for internal emitters. For fixed geometries, D is calculated by a matrix (S) multiplication of the integrated activity vector (Ã). The last quantity is usually measured by nuclear imaging of activity in various source organs and performing a temporal integration. Ã is the ...
