| Zusammenfassung | The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has issued a standard series on photon reference radiation qualities (ISO 4037). In this series, no conversion coefficients are contained for the quantity personal dose equivalent at 3 mm depth, Hp(3). In the past, for this quantity a slab phantom has been recommended as calibration phantom, however, a cylinder phantom much better approximates the shape of a human head than a slab phantom. Therefore, in this work the conversion coefficients from airkerma to Hp(3) for the cylinder phantom are supplied for X and gamma radiation qualities defined in ISO 4037. |
