In modern HDR or LDR brachytherapy with photon emitters, fast checks of the dose profiles
generated in water or a water-equivalent phantom have to be available in the interest of …

Several solid phantom materials have been tested regarding their suitability as water
substitutes for dosimetric measurements in brachytherapy with 192 Ir as a typical high …

In this study the dosimetric properties of Plastic WaterTM and Solid WaterTM phantom
materials are evaluated using Monte Carlo photon transport simulations. In particular, their …

Purpose: Gafchromic film and ionometric calibration procedures for HDR brachytherapy
sources in terms of dose rate to water are presented and the experimental results are …

Water calorimetry is an established technique for absorbed dose to water measurements in
external beams. In this paper, the feasibility of direct absorbed dose measurements for high …

Purpose: The absorbed dose to water is the fundamental reference quantity for
brachytherapy treatment planning systems and thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLDs) …

Treatments with high dose rate (HDR) 192 Ir sources deliver a high dose to tissues near the
source. Due to the energy spectrum and the high gradient of dose delivered in these …

The purpose of this work was to develop a procedure to directly estimate the spatial
distribution of the absorbed dose rate to water, $\dot {D} _ {\rm w} $, around an HDR 192 Ir …

Low-energy brachytherapy sources, such as 125I and 103Pd, are being used with
increasing frequency for interstitial implants in tumor sites such as prostate. Due to their …

Higher initial dose rate and simplifying HDR room treatment of element among other
brachytherapy sources has led to investigating its feasibility as high‐dose‐rate seed. In this …
