All compact chambers are designed for measurements with high reproducibility in air, in solid or in water
phantoms. They are suitable for relative dosimetry of photon, electron and proton fields in radiotherapy.
CC01 CC04 |
CC01 and CC04 are the conventional ionization chambers for measurements of small fields and of ranges with high dose gradients, e.g. stereotactic fields. |
CC08 is used for customized applications
during manufacturing and installation of linear
accelerators (e.g. "Buddelship"). CC13 is the standard chamber for clinical use in water phantoms and for output factor measurements. | CC08/CC13 |
CC25 is mainly used for quality assurance in air and for low dose measurements in water phantoms. | CC25 |
The CC13-S is replacement for RK chamber used in RFA phantoms. Parameters of the CC13-S are similar to CC13. | CC13-S |
Waterproof | Vented through waterproof sleeve | Fully guarded | High uniform spatial resolution | Used for radial and axial beam incidence |
