Dose calculation for photon‐emitting brachytherapy sources with average energy higher than 50 keV: Report of the AAPM and ESTRO

Abstract

Recommended consensus datasets for high-energy sources have been derived for sources that were commercially available as of January 2010. Data are presented according to the AAPM TG-43U1 formalism, with modified interpolation and extrapolation techniques of the AAPM TG-43U1S1 report for the 2D anisotropy function and radial dose function.
