Thermoluminescent (TLD) measurements of dose-rate constant, anisotropy function, and radial dose function are reported for the Alpha-Omega high dose rate (HDR) Iridium-192 ((192)Ir) source, which has been available since 1998 for use in the MicroSelectron HDR afterloader manufactured by the Nucletron Corporation. Measurement results are compared with published or available Monte Carlo calculations for both sources. They are found in good agreement, and, within experimental accuracy, no difference is seen in the dosimetric parameters of both sources.
报告了对Alpha-Omega高剂量率(HDR)铱-192(¹⁹²Ir)源的剂量率常数、各向异性函数和径向剂量函数的热释光(TLD)测量结果,该源自1998年起可用于Nucletron公司生产的MicroSelectron HDR后装治疗机。将测量结果与两种源已发表的或可得的蒙特卡罗计算结果进行了比较。发现它们吻合良好,并且在实验精度范围内,两种源的剂量学参数没有差异。
