Resumo
Computed Tomography (CT) is a method of imaging used for diagnosis and diseases
treatment. In CT equipment due to its geometry, the determination of the HVL is a
difficult task and is usually determined only by the manufacturer. By definition, the
energy of a beam is determined by the value of HVL. When HVL values are not easily
determined, as in the case of CT, it is possible to evaluate the effective energy of the
beam through a system consisting of the use of different energy dependent dosimeters,
where the ratio between the calibration curve responses in Energy can provide the
effective energy of the beam (Tandem System). The application of this system was
proposed by Kenney and Cameron1 and Gorbics and Attix2 that used
thermoluminescent materials to determine energy of gamma and X radiation. In 2004,
Maia3 studied the application of a Tandem System obtained through a set formed by an
ionization chamber of the Type pencils and cylindrical absorber sleeves made of
aluminum, PMMA and copper, as a non-invasive method for the determination of HVL
values in computed tomography beams. Although the proposed Tandem System initially
consists of two dosimeters with different energetic dependencies, the sets formed by
the ionization chamber and the cylindrical absorber layers of different materials can also
be considered a Tandem System. Taking as a reference the System built by Maia3, a
Tandem System was developed at the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (IPEN), formed by cylindrical absorber layers of aluminum and PMMA. The thickness of
the aluminum layers was chosen from the HVL values of the standard RQT beams,
implemented in 2010 by Dias4 in IPEN's Instrument Calibration Laboratory (LCI).
