Calibration of a liquid I‐125 source in a syringe
نویسنده
چکیده
The calibration of a liquid I-125 source in an older standard dose calibration system is presented. The calibration factor agrees well with factors established by the NIST for newer dose calibration systems. The determination of the source activity is necessary to accurately calculate the time required to deliver the prescribed dose.

UNLABELLED The accuracy with which (123)I activity is measured by a dose calibrator depends on the composition and geometry of the source. The present study assessed the variability of current commercial dose calibrators in assaying liquid (123)I samples. METHODS A calibration procedure for (123)I measurement was performed on 177 dose calibrators (11 manufacturers) at 138 sites in North Ameri...
متن کاملEstimation of dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 using GATE8.1 code
Brachytherapy is one type of internal radiation therapy where radiation sources, which are usually encapsulated are placed as close as possible to the tumor site inside the patient's body. In this technique, it is important to determine dose distribution around the brachytherapy capsule. Hereby, in this paper, dosimetric parameters of I-125 brachytherapy source model 6711 are estimated accordin...
