contents Performance of detectors used in measurements of radioactive material deposited in tissues from intakes by wounds Amanda Gomes Lopes Luis Bertelli Luiz Tauhata Biología Wounds contaminated emergency radiological performance of detectors incorporation of radionuclides In the care of people injured with wounds with incorporated radioactive material the basic information is collected, using appropriate detectors, following procedures established in first aid protocol. The reliability of the data collected for medical treatment depends greatly on the metrological performance of the equipment, the experimental setup and the scenario of the occurrence of the accident. The methodology to evaluate the performance of the detectors use the comparison of the attenuation coefficient value of each radionuclide obtained by the attenuation curve of tissue-equivalent material to the theoretical value established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in each experimental setup. The experimental setups were chosen according to the types of possible measurements performed in the various scenarios of the radiological accident. The detectors used were Personal Radiation Dosimeter, IdentiFINDER2, Cadmium Telluride and Hyper Pure Germanium. The results for 241Am showed better performance with HPGe and IdentiFINDER2 shielded. For the 60Co the best performance occurred with the shielded and collimated IdentiFINDER2. For the 137Cs, the HPGe detector presented the best performance. 2018 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280830004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.6
