Resumen
The computed tomography (CT) is responsible for the highest dose values
to the patients. Therefore, the radiation doses in this procedure must be accurate.
However, there is no primary standard system for this kind of radiation beam yet. In
order to search for a CT primary standard, an extrapolation ionization chamber built at
the Calibration Laboratory (LCI) of the Instituto de Pesquisas Energ??ticas e Nucleares
(IPEN), was tested in this work. The results showed to be within the international
recommended limits.
