Title: [Measurement of the air activation caused by the use of medical accelerators]. Author: Jensen JM. Journal: Strahlentherapie; 1982 Jul; 158(7):427-31. PubMed ID: 7135439. Abstract: The air is activated when a medical accelerator is operated in order to produce a continuous radiation the maximum energy of which is higher than 10.55 MeV. The induced activity can be measured by a simple method. The consequences regarding radiological protection and the organization of continuous radiation therapy with the examined accelerators (Clinac 20, Betatron 42 MeV) are discussed.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
