Calibration of MU-chamber
MU-chamber
 is a transmission ionization chamber
 electronics generates ‘counts’ (MUs)
after a pre-set charge QMU
measured
Calibration of MU-chamber:
electronics is tuned such that
1MU/QMU corresponds with
a dose of 1 cGy in H20
in reference conditions
dose measured
with calibrated
ionization chamber
