Calibration

Absorbed Dose to Water Calibration • Radiation Dosimetry Quality Assurance

Calibration Methodology & Protocols

Calibration is performed in terms of Absorbed Dose to Water Calibration Coefficient (ND,W ), using:

  • PTB-Germany Traceable Reference Dosimeters
  • Water Phantoms
  • Standard beam qualities for Radiotherapy Dosimetry
  • IAEA TRS-398,469 &381 (Absorbed Dose to Water Protocol)

We Calibrate the Following:

  • Farmer-Type Cylindrical Ionization Chambers
  • Plane-Parallel Ionization Chambers
  • All Types of Small Field Ionization Chambers
  • Semiconductor Diode Detectors

Each Instrument undergoes:

  • Pre-Calibration Inspection
  • Leakage, Stability, Polarity, Recombination Checks
  • Absorbed-Dose Calibration
  • Environmental Corrections (T, P Humidity)
  • Statistical & Uncertainty Analysis
  • Final Traceability Verification

Quality Assurance & Environmental Control

  • All Received Instruments Are Stored in A Controlled Environment
  • Continuous Monitoring of Temperature, Humidity, And Ambient Conditions
  • Periodic Reference Instrument Cross-Checks
  • Uncertainty Budget Evaluation as Per ISO/IEC 17025:2017
  • Redundancy-Based Metrological Verification
  • Drift Assessment and Long-Term Stability Monitoring

Measurement Confidence & Uncertainty with a CMC of 0.75%, HBCL ensures:

  • High Repeatability and Reproducibility
  • Low Uncertainty in Calibration Coefficients
  • International-Level Metrological Confidence
  • Compliance with Global QA Requirements for Radiotherapy Centres

Providing Reliable Calibration Solutions That Enhance the Accuracy and Safety of Clinical Radiation Dosimetry.
