摘要：

A new high-intensity Ir-192 source has recently become commercially available for remote afterloading brachytherapy treatment. The dosimetric characteristics (dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function) of this source were experimentally determined through the application of AAPM Task Group 43 recommendations. Complete dosimetric data are presented in this manuscript. (C) 1997 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
