Measurements and Monte Carlo calculation of radial dose and anisotropy functions of BEBIG (60)Co high-dose-rate brachytherapy source in a bounded water phantom

PURPOSE: The study compared the experimentally measured radial dose function, g(r), and anisotropy function, F(r,θ), of a BEBIG (60)Co (Co0.A86) high-dose-rate (HDR) source in an in-house designed water phantom with egs_brachy Monte Carlo (MC) calculated values. MC results available in the literatur...
