The applications of ionizing radiations in different areas, such as health, industry, environment and agriculture, have a direct effect on the life quality of the population. Therefore, the improvement of methods and techniques, and the development of instruments and systems for the radiation measurement, are essential for that their use is beneficial, effective and, at the same time, to …
The care about safety of occupationally exposed workers, patients and the whole population is increasing due to the increasing use of ionizing and ultraviolet radiations have been used more often in several areas such as medicine, industry and research. This fact leads to unceasing search for new materials and dosimetric techniques to assure accurate dose measurements, taking into account…
The main objectives of this proposal of the research group of the Calibration Laboratory of IPEN are to develop, improve and establish methods and reference systems to calibrate instruments used in radiation, therapy, diagnostic radiology and radioprotection levels, following national and international guides and standards. At the radiation therapy level, a reference system (special extra…

The constant increase of the exposition to ionizing radiations and neutrons is due to, mainly, the increasing demand for services in the medical field, such as diagnostic radiology and radiotherapy. If on one hand the increase of these numbers is related to an improvement in the quality of life of the population, on the other hand, there is the increasing risk related to the employment of…
The radiation processing has been used worldwide and for several different applications, especially in health, agriculture and industry; for each purpose an absorbed dose interval is used, that may be low, medium and high. The irradiators used with these purposes are called large irradiators, and the sources can be of gamma radiation, electron beams and X-rays. The gamma irradiators are t…
The risk of cancer in pediatric patients due to exposure to radiation is approximately two to three times higher than in adults. This occurs mainly because children possess a large life expectancy, and their organs are more radiosensitive to radiation induced damage. Currently, the number of computed tomography exams (CT) and radiotherapy treatments involving pediatric patients have incre…
According to UNSCEAR, exposures in medical diagnostic radiology contribute with about 20% on the average annual world population doses. In this scenario, the CT exams represent only 6% of the annual exams, but contribute up to 34% of the total annual exposition. Up to date, the long-term risks of these exposures to radiation are unknown, and the results may appear decades after the irradi…
