Technical note: fitted dosimetric parameters of high dose-rate 192Ir sources according to the AAPM TG43 formalism.
Functional fits for the anisotrophy function and the radial dose function, have been studied, in a previous work, in order to characterize dose-rate distributions around some of the high-intensity 192Ir sources. The purpose of the present work is to complete the previous one in order to include all the existing HDR and PDR 192Ir sources. The sources addressed here are: the Buchler source from Amersham, the 12i and Plus PDR sources and the 12i and Plus HDR sources from GammaMed, and the new VariSource HDR source wire model VS2000 from Varian Oncology Systems.
