Dosimetry

We conduct research on the response of thermoluminescent dosimeters and radiochromic dye films irradiated with ionizing radiation to determine the dependency of its response and its reactive efficiency as a function of the quality of the beam.
In the medical physics area, we perform measurements of dosimetry quantities in radiodiagnosis, interventional radiology, computed tomography procedures, and radiation therapy treatments like total body electron irradiation and small field dosimetry.

Laboratory Infrastructure

  • 1 Harshaw 3500 thermoluminescent reader
  • 1 Thermolyne F47915 muffle furnace
  • 1 mannequin to measure image quality on the Gammex 464 CT
  • 1 RadCal 2026C dosimeter
  • 1 pencil-type ionization chamber to measure the dose or dose amount
  • 1 RadCal Accu-Gold 2086 Analyzer for dose measurement
  • 1 RadCal 10X6-60 fluoroscopy ionization chamber
