Listen "RadPhysics E07a: Measuring Dose - Exposure, Ion Chambers & The f-factor"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the RadOnc Smart Review Physics Series! In P6, we saw how photons interact – PE, Compton, Pair Production. Now we need to quantify the result: dose. In Episode P7a: Measuring Dose - Exposure, Ion Chambers & The f-factor, we'll start this journey. We'll cover the historical concept of Exposure, dive deep into the workhorse detector – the Ionization Chamber, and introduce the crucial 'f-factor' that bridges the gap between measuring ionization in air and understanding dose in tissue.
