      Master thesis
      Open Access
      La determinació de l’activitat gamma en mostres radioactives per part dels detectors HPGe es realitza a partir de les corbes d’eficiència en energia, determinades prèviament a partir de fonts patró. Aquest patrons, que ...

    • Fast Monte Carlo codes for occupational dosimetry in interventional radiology 

      García Balcaza, Víctor; Camp Brunés, Anna; Badal Soler, Andreu; Andersson, Martin; Almén, Anja; Ginjaume Egido, Mercè; Duch Guillen, María Amor (2021-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Interventional radiology techniques cause radiation exposure both to patient and personnel. The radiation dose to the operator is usually measured with dosimeters located at specific points above or below the lead aprons. ...
