Monte Carlo characterization of the M-19 high dose rate Iridium-192 brachytherapy source
- Radiation Laboratory, University of Massachusetts Lowell, 1 University Avenue, Lowell, Massachusetts 01854 (United States)
The MCNP5 Monte Carlo code was used to simulate the dosimetry of an M-19 iridium-192 high dose rate brachytherapy source in both air/vacuum and water environments with the in-air photon spectrum filtered to remove low-energy photons below {delta}=10 keV. Dosimetric data was organized into an away-along table and was used to derive the updated AAPM Task Group Report No. 43 (TG-43U1) parameters including S{sub K}, D(r,{theta}), {lambda}, g{sub L}(r), F(r,{theta}), {phi}{sub an}(r), and {phi}{sub an} and their respective statistical uncertainties.
