NDLI: Principles and Basic Concepts in Radiation Dosimetry

Content Provider	Scilit
Author	Nahum, Alan
Copyright Year	2021
Description	As described in Chapter 3, charged particles (including those generated from uncharged-particle interactions – see Chapter 4) lose energy when they interact with matter. This energy is transferred to and absorbed by the irradiated medium. This energy absorption is the basis for the biological effects of radiotherapy that may ultimately result in tumour eradication (see Chapter 6). The absorption of (charged-particle kinetic) energy is expressed in terms of the fundamental quantity absorbed dose; this chapter is dedicated to radiation dosimetry, i.e. the determination (either experimentally or theoretically) of the absorbed dose in matter irradiated by ionising radiation.
