Abstract
A radiation detection assembly includes an ionization chamber for detecting radiation. An exterior enclosure houses the ionization chamber within an interior volume. A pair of support structures support the ionization chamber with respect to the exterior enclosure. The support structures are disposed opposite each other at a surface of the ionization chamber such that the ionization chamber is symmetric with respect to an axis extending between the support structures. A method of supporting the radiation detection assembly is also provided.

A radiation detection assembly including:
- an ionization chamber for detecting radiation;
- an exterior enclosure housing the ionization chamber within an interior volume;
- and
- a pair of support structures supporting the ionization chamber with respect to the exterior enclosure, the support structures being disposed opposite each other at a surface of the ionization chamber such that the ionization chamber is symmetric with respect to an axis extending between the support structures.
A radiation detection assembly including:
- an ionization chamber for detecting radiation;
- an exterior enclosure housing the ionization chamber within an interior volume;
- and
- a pair of support structures supporting the ionization chamber a distance apart from the exterior enclosure, the support structures being disposed opposite each other at a surface of the ionization chamber such that the ionization chamber is symmetric with respect to an axis extending between the support structures, the ionization chamber being non-contacted along the surface extending between the opposing support structures.
A method of supporting a radiation detection assembly, the method including:
- providing an exterior enclosure having an interior volume;
- positioning an ionization chamber within the interior volume;
- and
- supporting the ionization chamber with respect to the exterior enclosure with a pair of support structures disposed opposite each other at a surface of the ionization chamber.
