The dosimetry of 192Ir linear sources with a commercial treatment planning computer system has been evaluated. Reference dose rate data were selected from the literature and normalized in a manner consistent with our clinical and dosimetric terminology. The results of the computer calculations are compared to the reference data and good agreement is shown at distances within about 7 cm from a linear source. The methodology of translating source calibration in terms of exposure rate for use in the treatment planning computer is developed. This may be useful as a practical guideline for users of similar computer calculation programs for iridium as well as other sources.
已对使用商业治疗计划计算机系统的192Ir线性源的剂量测定法进行了评估。从文献中选取参考剂量率数据，并以与我们的临床和剂量学术语一致的方式进行归一化。将计算机计算结果与参考数据进行比较，结果表明在距线性源约7厘米范围内的数据吻合良好。开发了将源校准转换为用于治疗计划计算机的照射率的方法。这对于铱以及其他源的类似计算机计算程序的用户而言，可能作为实用指南。
