Title: NIST Releases High-Dose Dosimetry Uncertainty Tables
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published detailed uncertainty budgets for its high-dose dosimetry services. These tables provide traceability to national measurement standards for various dosimeters used in radiation therapy and processing applications.
Key points:
– Uncertainty budgets cover alanine films, alanine pellets, and optichromic dosimeters
– Uncertainties are characterized for different irradiation geometries and source types
– Specific uncertainty values are provided for alanine transfer dosimetry
– Tables support NIST’s high-dose dosimetry services described in Procedures 11 and 12
The release of these uncertainty tables will help ensure accurate dose measurements in radiation therapy and processing applications, supporting regulatory compliance and patient safety.
