Abstract
Electronic dosimeters are widely used for individual monitoring, especially for direct dose equivalent assessment associated with a specific task. Most of x-ray beams used in diagnostic radiology have been considered as pulsed one due to their high intensity during a very short time. This work showed that a Rhos Vari X x-ray machine was feasible to be used to evaluate electronic dosimeters in high pulsed air kerma rates to detect deficiencies in their response. In comparison to continuous x-ray beams, it was observed that personal dose equivalent values were severely underestimated by some electronic dosimeters in pulsed radiation fields.
