“…The present work shows the results from the computation of conversion coefficients relating air-kerma to H*(10) taking into account the photon energy distributions transmitted by the typical attenuators used in diagnostic radiology imaging procedures and structural shielding materials. Primary x-ray spectra and x-ray spectra transmitted by combinations of an anthropomorphic phantom, image receptor system and barite mortar plates were measured using a CdTe detector (Santos et al 2014). Conversion coefficients were calculated from these measured spectra, considering the transmitted photon beam distributions obtained by adopting simulated clinical situations.…”

“…Porém, complexidades técnicas no processo de medições destes espectros dificultaram por muito tempo a aplicação da espectrometria em condições clínicas para avaliar feixes de radiodiagnostico. No entanto, com o surgimento dos sistemas de espectrometria portáteis, o uso dessa técnica tem sido ampliado, incluindo aplicações para avaliação de espectros de raios X de feixes clínicos para fins de pesquisa [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] .…”

“…Considerando que durante todo o tempo de funcionamento da universidade estejam passando pessoas no corredor do laboratório (P = 0,02 mGy/semana e = 1 5 ⁄ ) (NCRP, 2004), considerando que sejam realizados em média 25 incidências do feixe por semana; adotando uma distância de 1 m da parede (distância simulada), empregando o valor de kerma no ar da radiação secundária para procedimentos angiográficos de 3,8 mGy/paciente (valor adotado pela NCRP 147 (NCRP, 2004) para procedimentos de angiografia) e substituindo os valores dos parâmetros de atenuação (α, β e γ) para uma determinada amostra de argamassa baritada (diferente da argamassa de barita simulada) para salas de angiografia cardíaca (SANTOS et al, 2015), obtém-se uma aplicação de 1,87 cm de barita para a parede do corredor (Figura 7.7).…”
