摘要

验电器是标准剂量测定系统中的重要设备。因此,我们在这项研究中评估了一年内电度表校准系数(kelec)的变化情况。我们调查了两种类型的验电器:速率模式和积分模式。每个电度计都连接到一个电荷发生器,施加恒定电荷,并通过测量电流来确定 kelec。电流测量每月重复一次。对于具有多个量程的验电器,则在低量程和中量程时进行测量。几乎所有 kelec 测量值都在初始测量值的 0.2% 以内。不过,具有积分模式的电度计的低量程出现了季节性变化,变化幅度大于 0.2%。这项研究表明,电度计可能会出现无法通过年度检查发现的误差。使用本机构的电荷发生器进行质量保证的重要性由此可见一斑。

Evaluation of monthly variations in electrometer calibration coefficients using a charge generator for radiation therapy.

Electrometers are important devices that are part of the standard dosimetry system. Therefore, we evaluated the variation of electrometer calibration coefficients (kelec) over 1 year in this study. We investigated two types of electrometers: a rate mode and an integrate mode. Each electrometer was connected to a charge generator, a constant charge was applied, and kelec was determined by measuring the current. The current measurements were repeated once a month. For electrometers with multiple ranges, measurements were taken at low and medium ranges. Almost all kelec measurements agreed within 0.2% of the initial measurements. However, the low range of the electrometer with an integrate mode showed seasonal variation, with a variation greater than 0.2%. This study shows that electrometers may exhibit errors that cannot be detected through annual inspections. The importance of quality assurance using a charge generator at one's own institution was demonstrated.
