Temporal drift in calibration of Ir-192 brachytherapy sources: A multi-center study on dosimetric discrepancies and metrological consistency

Temporal drift in calibration of Ir-192 brachytherapy sources: A multi-center study on dosimetric discrepancies and metrological consistency

Background and purpose: High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy relies on accurate and metrologically traceable source strength determination. Recent anecdotal reports and preliminary studies have suggested a possible temporal drift in the reference air kerma rate (RAKR) measured by clinical users compar...
