Ir-192 Calibration in Air with Farmer Chamber for HDR Brachytherapy
A comprehensive review for the in-air calibration of an Ir-192 high-dose-rate brachytherapy source in terms of air kerma strength (AKS) and reference air kerma rate (RAKR) using the Farmer chamber was conducted. The reviewed calibration methods include the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) calibration standard in the UK, the 7-distance technique with the standard calibration of the National In...
متن کاملCalibration of iridium-192 source by ionization chamber for high dose rate brachytherapy
Background: The effectiveness and safety of brachytherapy treatment is mainly concerned with the calibration of sources and their traceability to internationally accepted Standards. Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory (SSDL) does not offer calibration of ionization chambers with gamma-ray spectrum of high dose rate source 192Ir . This work has been carried out to calibrate the high dose rat...
متن کاملA Study on the Dose Distributions in Various Materials from an Ir-192 HDR Brachytherapy Source
Dose distributions of (192)Ir HDR brachytherapy in phantoms simulating water, bone, lung tissue, water-lung and bone-lung interfaces using the Monte Carlo codes EGS4, FLUKA and MCNP4C are reported. Experiments were designed to gather point dose measurements to verify the Monte Carlo results using Gafchromic film, radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter, solid water, bone, and lung phantom. The re...
متن کاملComparison of Calibration Methods for an Iridium 192 Source (hdr) and Application to the Absorbed Dose to Water Determination
The aim of this study was to compare the high dose rate (HDR) iridium 192 source calibration in terms of reference air kerma rate with two types of ionisation chambers (a thimble chamber and a well-type chamber). Dose measurements in water have been also performed with thimble chamber and thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) in order to validate the absorbed dose to water calculation provided by ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of the TG-43 dosimetric parameters of a new BEBIG Ir-192 HDR source.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy is a highly extended practice in clinical brachytherapy today. Quality dose rate distribution datasets of the HDR sources used in a clinical treatment are required. Because of the different source designs, a specific dosimetry dataset is required for each source model. In the recently published BRAPHYQS-ESTRO Report, an overview of avail...
