Abstract
Several ionization chambers were studied for 18F and 99mTc, through Monte Carlo simulation method. In particular, some alterations to the original design of the Curiementor 2 were analysed, as well as the geometry of more recent chambers developed by PTW, namely Curiementor 3 and PET Curiementor 4. Calibration coefficients were compared for sources at different positions. Importance volumes were defined and determined for the Curiementors 2 and 3 and its ratio related with the corresponding ratio of sensitivity functions.
