<p>1,027,869. Dosimeters. ATOMIC ENERGY OF CANADA Ltd. July 1, 1964 [Aug. 9, 1963], No. 27143/64. Heading H5R. In order to even out its response toγ- and X-rays over a wide energy range, a dosimeter using a radiation sensitive film has, covering the film, a filter plate of e.g. lead which has been pierced to provide a predetermined hole pattern. When exposed and developed, the film is read-out using a densitometer having an aperture 7 (Fig. 3) with a field of view so shaped with respect to the hole pattern 6 as to include, on average, a predetermined ratio of area of film exposed through the holes to the area exposed through the filter material. The use of a perforated filter has more effect than a solid one on the overall sensitivity of the dosimeter to low energies since this is increased in the areas beneath the holes. Examples of preferable dimensions for the hole pattern and densitometer aperture are given. Very fine or very coarse grid patterns result in spurious densitometer readings. A densitometer aperture with a fairly small diameter, compared with the area of the film, is used to enable samples to be made at various points on the film, thus avoiding measurement of areas effected by radiation incident parallel to the film or black spots caused by radioactive contamination.</p> |
