Abstract:Objectives: The main goal of this work is to design and characterize a user-friendly methodology to perform mailed dosimetric audits in high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for systems using either Iridium-192 (192Ir) or Cobalt-60 (60Co) sources. Methods: A solid phantom was designed and manufactured with four catheters and a central slot to place one dosimeter. Irradiations with an Elekta MicroSelectron V2 for 192Ir, and with a BEBIG Multisource for 60Co were performed for its characterization. For the dose mea… Show more
