Abstract
A setup and a technique have been developed for measuring the photon flux of 153Gd sources, allowing measurements of the photon flux from ionizing radiation sources based on 153Gd in the range of (108–1010) photon s−1 sr−1 with an error of no more than 10%, which is in full least meets the current requirements of medicine.
