The development of new radiation detectors of low cost but with adequate materials is a very important task for countries that have to import ionization chambers such as Brazil. A special double faced ionization chamber was developed for use in conventional diagnostic radiology beams and computed tomography energy ranges. The results show that this new chamber present applicability in conventional diagnostic radiology and computed tomography quality control programs.
► We constructed a double faced ionization chamber. ► It was submitted to conventional diagnostic and computed tomography X-rays beams. ► The results obtained showed good agreement with international standards. ► This ionization chamber can be used in clinic quality control program.
