A feasibility study of Fricke dosimetry as an absorbed dose to water standard for 192Ir HDR sources.

A feasibility study of Fricke dosimetry as an absorbed dose to water standard for 192Ir HDR sources.

High dose rate brachytherapy (HDR) using 192Ir sources is well accepted as an important treatment option and thus requires an accurate dosimetry standard. However, a dosimetry standard for the direct measurement of the absolute dose to water for this particular source type is currently not available...
