Resumen
The use of small volume ionization chamber has become required for
the dosimetry of equipments that use small radiation fields such as the Gamma
Knife?? Perfexion (GKP) unit. In this work, a pinpoint ionization chamber was
inserted into the dosimetry phantom and measurements were performed with the
phantom in different positions, in order to verify if the change in the phantom
positioning affects the dosimetry of the GKP. Four different phantom positions
were performed. The variation in the result is within the range allowed for the
dosimetry of a GKP equipment.
