Irradiation of blood bags using X-ray irradiators and dosimetry services are required to ensure uniform dose levels in the range 25-50 Gy to prevent Transfusion Associated Graft versus Host Disease (TA-GvHD). An absorbed dose characterization of a Raycell MK2 X-Irradiator was performed using three different dosimetric systems. Results showed a dosimetric accuracy of the ionization chamber together with the Alanine dosimeter. TLDs measurements exhibited a small overestimation by 4% of the absorbed dose. The Dose Uniformity Ratio (DUR), between maximum and minimum dose levels in the canister, was in good agreement with the manufacturer specifications (≤1.5).
使用 X 射线辐照器和剂量测定服务对血袋进行辐照,以确保在 25-50 Gy 的范围内达到均匀的剂量水平,从而预防输血相关移植物抗宿主病(TA-GvHD)。使用三种不同的剂量测定系统对 Raycell MK2 X 辐照器进行了吸收剂量特性描述。结果表明,电离室与丙氨酸剂量计的剂量测定精度较高。TLDs 测量结果显示,吸收剂量的高估幅度较小,为 4%。罐内最大和最小剂量水平之间的剂量均匀性比(DUR)与制造商规格(≤1.5)非常吻合。
