This document presents the findings from the IRMF/IPEM Diagnostic X-ray Intercomparison conducted in January 2007. It involves a collaborative effort among hospital medical physicists and clinical scientists, focusing on the evaluation of different radiations conditions for diagnostic X-ray equipment. Key parameters such as radiation beams, measurements using Keithley ion chambers, and various equipment like ion chambers and photodiodes were analyzed. Significant considerations include traceability of measurements, estimation of uncertainties, and the effects of generator waveforms on energy response.
