Conteúdo: 	We describe a new method to measure X-rays in its diagnostic region using a new photoacoustical radiation dosimeter. We measure the exposure rate and the energy fluence rate without the necessity to use synchronous detection. The measurement is made determining with a recorder, oscilloscope or electronic peak detector the amplitude of the electrical pulses produced when a chopped X-ray beam strikes a 0,6mm thick Pb detecting sample inside a photoacoustical cell. The pulsed photoacoustical radiation dosimeter (PPARD) consists of an X-ray beam commutator, a photoacoustical cell, a pre-amplifier and an electronic peak detector, oscilloscope or recorder. The PPARD has the following characteristics for diagnostic X-ray beam: 1) it has a linear response with the energy fluence rate; 2) the photoacoustic cell is simple to construct; 3) the instrumentation is inexpensive and easily available; 4) the lower detection limit of energy fluence rate range is 0,42W/m2; 5) the lower detection limit of exposure rate range is 2,0.10E-4 C.KgE-1.sE-1 (0,78 R/s).
