To perform the dosimetry inCT beams, the most widely used instrument is the pencil type ionization chamber with a sensitive volume length of 100 mm; however, some studies have shown that this dosimeter has underestimated the dose values. Therefore, in this study an ionization chamber with sensitive volume length of 300mmwas developed at IPEN. The characterization of this chamber was performed, and the results were obtained within the international recommended limits. As an application, the developed ionization chamber was tested in clinical beams of two different hospitals.1-7openAccesscomputerized tomographyionization chambersdosimetrycalibrationArtigo de periódico5310.1088/2057-1976/aa82e3https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7362-2455Sem Percentil
