Thimble Ionization Chambers

Thimble Ionization Chambers is a type of gas-filled radiation detection device, characterized by its cylindrical, thimble-like geometry and wall material that approximates tissue equivalence, designed to measure absorbed dose in clinical radiation beams through the collection of ion pairs produced by incident ionizing radiation.
