Abstract:
A new high-intensity 192Ir source has recently become commercially available for remote afterloading brachytherapy treatment. The dosimetric characteristics (dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function) of this source were experimentally determined through the application of AAPM Task Group 43 recommendations. Complete dosimetric data are presented in this manuscript.
