Introduction: According to recommendations of AAPM and ESTRO (2007), dosimetric characteristics of HDR brachytherapy sources with average energy higher than 50 keV should be determined either using Monte Carlo calculation or experimental methods...

PURPOSE: Although the dosimetric characterization of 60Co BEBIG source can be found in

several literature studies, the data sets show major discrepancies and the lack of uncertainty analyses.

This study tried ...
