Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The paper presents the composition, physical operating principles, and metrological characteristics of GET 73-2022 Special State Primary Standard of the absorbed dose and absorbed dose rate to tissue-equivalent material of X-rays with a limiting photon energy of 10–60 keV. The functional capabilities of GET 73-2022 meeting the current needs of low-energy X-ray radiation therapy, which includes brachytherapy, are described. Absorbed dose and absorbed dose rate to tissue-equivalent material (water) are realized via the ionization method using primary measuring instruments, i.e., standard extrapolation ionization chambers: EK-R for realizing units in the fields of low-energy X-ray sources (X-ray tubes) and EK-I designed for work with radionuclide sources used in brachytherapy. Dosimetric measurements performed using GET 73-2022 comply with modern requirements for accuracy, as well as the realization and transfer range of the units.
