IRMF/IPEM Diagnostic X-ray Intercomparison Jan 2007 -

This document details the IRMF/IPEM diagnostic X-ray intercomparison held in January 2007, focusing on measurements conducted by hospital medical physicists and QA radiographers. Key highlights include the use of uniform radiation conditions as per IEC 61267, comparing radiation beams from various sources like mammography and standard X-ray beams. The equipment involved included Keithley ion chambers and semiconductor photodiodes for precise measurement. The report touches on equipment traceability, uncertainty estimation, and the impact of generator waveform on energy response.
