Comparative study of Curiementor ionization chambers using Monte Carlo simulations.

Ionization chambers (ICs) are the most commonly used instrument for measuring activities of solutions containing radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine, due to their simplicity of operation and accurate measurement results. As the dose delivered to the patient is determined by these measurements, for optimal results, the activity of these radiopharmaceuticals must be determined as accurately as possible, so that the radioprotection requirements are accomplished and at the same time good therapy or imaging results are achieved.
