Abstract

WALWYN SALAS, Gonzalo et al. Proficiency test for calibration of well-type chambers using two types of 192Ir sources. Nucleus [online]. 2014, n.55, pp.07-10. ISSN 0864-084X.

The Secondary Standard Dosimetry Laboratory of Cuba has implemented the calibration methodology of well-type chambers using the high dose rate sources. The use of different source types, at the hospital site as a modification of the procedure using other source types in a permanent facility of the primary laboratory leads to the need to evaluate the performance of the secondary procedure for calibration. The present paper describes the proficiency test to Cuban laboratory by making a comparison of  dosimetry standards used in Germany and Cuba

Keywords : brachytherapy; iridium 192; sealed sources; calibration; dosimetry; interlaboratory comparisons.
