Measurements of air kerma index in computed tomography: A comparison among methodologies.
Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 2017As CT exams impart high doses to patients in comparison to other radiologist techniques, reliable dosimetry is required. In this work, dosimetry in CT beams was carried out in terms of air kerma index in air or in a phantom measured by a pencil ...

THE AIR-KERMA RATE CONSTANT: APPLICATION TO AIR-KERMA MEASUREMENTS FOR HOMELAND SECURITY
Health Physics, 2008Air-kerma rate measurements from 57Co, 60Co, and 137Cs radioactive sources were performed. These measurements were motivated by the development of new sources at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for radiological testing of equipment for homeland security applications.

The Pre-Kerma Culture and the Beginning of the Kerma Kingdom
2021Abstract The Pre-Kerma is an Upper Nubian culture that developed between 3500 and 2500 bce. It preceded the Kerma civilization and was in part contemporaneous with the A-Group from Lower Nubia. It consisted of an agro-pastoral population that maintained contacts with Lower Nubia and produced pottery somewhat similar to that of the A ...

Metrologia, 2009
This paper reviews the current status of air-kerma cavity standards for gamma rays from 60Co, 137Cs and 192Ir sources. It describes the basic principles and the theories to determine the air-kerma rate from the ionization current of graphite-walled cavity ionization chambers. A typical design of a cavity chamber is shown and described.

Archaeology of the Kerma Culture
2021Kerma was a Bronze Age culture (c. 2500–1500 bce) located in what is today Sudan and southern Egypt. It is one of the earliest complex societies in Africa and, at its height, rivaled Ancient Egypt. The ancient Kerma culture spans the Pre-Kerma, examining the settlements and cemeteries of this ancient culture during the Pre-Kerma (3500–2500 bce ...

Air kerma rate constants for radionuclides
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 1988Conversion to SI units requires that the exposure rate constant which was usually quoted in R.h-1.mCi-1.cm2 be replaced by the air kerma rate constant with units m2.Gy.Bq-1.s-1. The conversion factor is derived and air kerma rate constants for 30 radionuclides used in nuclear medicine and brachytherapy are listed.

KERMA ratios in pediatric CT dosimetry
Pediatric Radiology, 2012Patient organ doses may be estimated from CTDI values. More accurate estimates may be obtained by measuring KERMA (Kinetic Energy Released in Matter) in anthropomorphic phantoms and referencing these values to free-in-air X-ray intensity.To measure KERMA ratios (R(K)) in pediatric phantoms at CT.CT scans produce an air KERMA K in a phantom and an air ...
