Zusammenfassung:In 2008, the European project 'T2.J06, Increasing cancer treatment efficacy using 3D brachytherapy' was launched. One of the main goals of the Joint Research Project was the experimental determination of the dose rate constant ... to allow the linkage between the air kerma strength or reference air kerma rate currently used for the source characterization and the 'new' absorbed dose rate to water with an uncertainty of
