Evaluation of Dosimetric Parameters for Various 192Ir Brachytherapy Sources Under Unbounded Phantom Geometry by Monte Carlo Simulation

As per TG-43 dose calculation formalism, it is essential to obtain various dosimetric parameters such as the air-kerma strength, dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function, as they account for accurate determination of dose rate distribution around brachytherapy sources. Most...
