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 کاملEvaluation of dose distribution and dose gradient in brachytherapy cylindrical applicators using a dedicated Phantom for Iridium-192 and Cobalt-60 HDR sources
Introduction: A study was performed to evaluate radiation dose distribution and dose gradient around cylindrical applicators for high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy systems with 192Ir, 60Co brachytherapy source applied for rectal and vaginal cancers treatments. Materials and Methods: Two additional computed tomography (CT) based plans were generated using a ...
