Objective A mechanism and method of multi-detector or multi-slice CT dosimetry based on semi-conductor slice ionization chamber was introduced to provide technical information for the existing medical CT inspection criterion in China. Methods Through the introduction of X-ray dosimeter Barracuda’s detection principle, the basis of relevant parameter setting, and the application examples of Philip Brillinace iCT 256, the key technologies of multi-slice CT dosimetry was expounded. Results The spatial distribution of CT radiation dosage could be illustrated well by the detector with the slice ionization chamber after proper parameter setting. A pencil ionization chamber with a length of 100 mm was not sufficient to cover the irradiating range by X-ray beam of multi-slice CT, which was expected to renew the detection technology of radiation dosage for multi-slice CT. Conclusions This new detector is helpful to reveal the characteristics of the radiation dosage regularity in multi-slice CT.
