Abstract Background and Objective Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy using
sealed radiation sources inserted within or in the vicinity of the tumor of, eg, gynecological …

The vast majority of radiotherapy departments in Europe using brachytherapy (BT) perform
temporary implants of high-or pulsed-dose rate (HDR-PDR) sources with photon energies …

Purpose: To perform a comparison of the interim air‐kerma strength standard for high dose
rate (HDR) 192Ir brachytherapy sources maintained by the University of Wisconsin …

The most commonly used radioisotopes are Palladium-103 (103 Pd) and Iodine-125 (125 I)
for interstitial application in brachytherapy. In the present study, different production routes of …

This paper contains the recommendations of the high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy
working party of the UK Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM). The …

Strontium‐90 plesiotherapy delivers high doses of radiation to superficial lesions (< 3 mm
depth) with excellent sparing of deeper tissues. The sealed‐source applicator tip is circular …

A novel graphite calorimeter for absorbed dose rate measurements close to high dose rate
(HDR) 192 Ir brachytherapy sources has been designed and built at the UK National …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether a chamber‐type‐specific radiation
