The document discusses different types of radiation detection, focusing on gas-filled detectors and ionization chambers. There are two main effects of radiation: ionization and excitation. Gas-filled detectors measure ionization produced in gas. Ionization chambers are the simplest gas-filled detectors and work by collecting ion pairs created through gas ionization using an electric field to measure radiation. Ionization chambers are useful for radiation measurement and medical applications like dose calibration.

Radiation detection has two effects : 1- ionization
2- excitation
in N.M we have two types of radiation detection : 1- gas filled ( used for non-imaging ) 2- (scintillator) ( used for imaging ) Gas-filled detectors function by measuring the ionization that radiation produces within the gas .
Ionization chamber
1- ionization chamber 2- G.M counter 3- proportional counter
Ionization chamber
The ionization chamber is the simplest of all gas-filled radiation detectors, and is widely used for the detection and measurement of certain types of ionizing radiation; X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles. Conventionally, the term "ionization chamber" is used exclusively to describe those detectors which collect all the charges created by direct ionization within the gas through the application of an electric field.
Is an ionization detector which main function is to measure . the ion pairs created when ionization mediation through the gas . the ion pairs are attached either in the positive or negative electrodes which are then connected the battery therefore reading measurement of ionizing radiation ( AKA ionization induced electric )
Free-air chamber Vented chamber Sealed low pressure chamber High pressure chamber Research and calibration chambers
Ionization chamber
As voltage is increased in the ionization there is no appreciable increase in .region the pulse height. The field strength is more than adequate to ensure collection of all ions produced; however, it is insufficient to cause any increase in ion pairs due to gas amplification. This region is called the ionization chamber region
Accurate and precise Recommended for beam calibration Instant readout using in N.M ( hot lab) for important structure in dose collimator
Connecting cables required High voltage supply required Many corrections required for high energy dosimetry
THANK YOU
