The main objective of this work is to solve the dosimetry of electrons of irregular fields by of three methods: ionization chamber, integration by sectors, Monte Carlo. For it the linear accelerator (Siemens/Mevatrón) with energy of the electrón beam of 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12 MeV was used, aplicador 15x15 cm2, phantoms of water of 40x40x40 cm3, placed to a distance source surface of 100 cm and protectors of cerroben with form fields: (i) circular, (ii) rectangular and (iii) complex, of 6,5 mm thickness, (transmission <3% for 12 MeV). Method ionization chamber requires the calibration of the unit by means of protocol TRS-398 and the factor of field. On the other hand, method integration by sectors was implemented in software and codified in Fortran 90 using structured programming, which requires entered of the radii of each one of the sectors in which the irregular field was divided. Finally, for method Monte Carlo, the Penelope code was used (versión 2006), which allowed to determine by means of simulation the factor of field of the irregular fields, from as the dosimetry of the irregular fields was made. When comparing the results obtained by the method of integration by sectors with ionization chamber were <1.0% the method of Monte Carlo with ionization chamber was <1.6%. From that one can conclude that both methods can clinically be implemented.
