    Evaluation of the performance of radioprotection ionization chambers used in radiometric survey of clinical systems
    2020 - SILVA, E.; SANTOS, L.R.; ASSEMANY, L.P.F.; POTIENS, M.P.A.
    The use of ionizing radiation for medical purposes was a major advancement for society due to the various possibilities of use for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases. On the other hand, knowledge about the damage caused by the biological effects of ionizing radiation requires a continuous improvement of the quality control of diagnostic radiology. Radiation detector equipment is used to measure the levels of radiation emitted by sources be they natural or artificial. For practicality and precision, among the most commonly used detectors are the ionization chambers. Especially in outdoor areas climatic factors may affect the behavior of these detectors at the time of measurement, but Brazilian legislation only recommends the calibration of these measuring instruments in a traceable laboratory every two years to ensure their reliability. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of an ionization chamber used in radioprotection measurements in diagnostic radiology equipment, considering the climatic variations in the different regions of Brazil. For this, a system was developed to simulate the environmental conditions found for the parameters of temperature and humidity at the time of clinical measurements, making it possible to estimate the influence of these factors on the values obtained.

    Evaluation of 3D printing filaments for construction of a pediatric phantom for dosimetry in CBCT
    2020 - ASSEMANY, LADYJANE P.F.; RODRIGUES JUNIOR, ORLANDO; SILVA, EZEQUIEL da; POTIENS, MARIA da P.A.
    Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been widely used in orthodontics, due to the ability to provide visualization of mineralized tissues in high definition and consequently the identification and delimitation of three-dimensional irregularities. Compared with 2D imaging techniques, the doses used in CBCT exams are higher. Considering that the pediatric and adolescent population routinely receives orthodontic treatments, it is important to note that the cellular development phase of the organs is associated with increased tissue sensitivity to radiation, and that cancer is one of the main long-term effects caused by exposure to X radiation. In recent years, the 3D printing technique has been used in the medical industry because it allows the reproduction of structures of the human body, enabling detailed studies in several application areas. The objective of this work was to study the different types of filaments available for 3D printing of structures that will compose a phantom for dose evaluation in the pediatric and adolescent population who undergo CBCT exams.

    Evaluation of the behavior of a 180cc ionization chamber under different environmental conditions
    2019 - SILVA, E.; SANTOS, L.R.; ASSEMANY, L.P.F.; POTIENS, M.P.A.

Radiation detector equipment is used to measure radiation levels emitted from natural or artificial sources.

Especially outdoors, weather factors can affect the behavior of these detectors at the time of measurement, but Brazilian law recommends only calibrating these measuring instruments in a traceable laboratory every two years to ensure their reliability. The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of an ionization chamber used in radioprotection measurements in diagnostic radiology equipment, considering climatic variations in different regions of Brazil. For this, a system was developed to simulate the environmental conditions found for the temperature and humidity parameters at the moment of the clinical measurements, allowing to estimate the influence of these factors on the obtained values.
