AbstractAbstract
[en] The absorbed dose standard for high dose rate (HDR) 192Ir brachytherapy sources at the UK National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is a graphite calorimeter. Calorimetry offers a more direct method to measure absorbed dose compared to ionometry and usually results in lower overall measurement uncertainties. Radiation energy imparted in the annular calorimeter core with a mean radius of 2.5 cm is converted to the quantity of interest, absorbed dose rate to water at 1 cm distance from the centre of the source, 𝐷 ̇ w, 1 cm. The required graphite-to-water conversion and perturbation correction factors for absorbed dose measurements of the HDR 192Ir Isodose Control Flexisource have been calculated with Monte Carlo (MC) techniques. 𝐷 ̇ w, 1 cm of the HDR 192Ir Flexisource was measured with the calorimeter and the reference air kerma rate (RAKR) was measured with NPL’s HDR 192Ir air kerma primary standard. The dose rate constant of the Flexisource was measured by taking the ratio of the two quantities and was compared against the published consensus value.
