Abstract
Conversion coefficients between free in air kerma and personal dose equivalent were experimentally determined for the diagnostic X-ray qualities recommended by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for primary beams (RQR) and three RQA. Harshaw LiF-100H thermoluminescent dosemeters (TLD) were used for measurements after being calibrated against an ionization chamber traceable to the National Metrology Laboratory. A 300 mm × 300 mm × 150 mm polymethilmethacrylate (PMMA) slab phantom was used for deep-dose measurements. The dosemeters were placed in the central axis of the X-ray beam at five different depths in the phantom (5, 10, 15, 25 and 35 mm) upstream the beam direction. The typical combined standard uncertainty of conversion coefficient value was 12%.
