title: A reference air kerma rate calibration protocol for a 370 GBq 192Ir high dose rate brachytherapy source.
abstract: A suggested protocol for the in-air calibration of 192Ir High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy sources is presented. The protocol was constructed using Nucletron-Oldelft HDR brachytherapy equipment and should be transportable to any High Dose Rate Brachytherapy Afterloader system.
