  • Title: Dosimetric studies for gamma radiation validation of medical devices.
    Author: Soliman YS, Beshir WB, Abdel-Fattah AA, Abdel-Rehim F.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2013 Jan; 71(1):21-8. PubMed ID: 23079487.
    Abstract:
    The delivery and validation of a specified dose to medical devices are key concerns to operators of gamma radiation facilities. The objective of the present study was to characterize the industrial gamma radiation facility and map the dose distribution inside the product-loading pattern during the validation and routine control of the sterilization process using radiochromic films. Cardboard phantoms were designed to achieve the homogeneity of absorbed doses. The uncertainty of the dose delivered during validation of the sterilization process was assessed.
