摘要：
In this study, three holders were designed, constructed and characterized to perform quality assurance on the source position and transit time in remote afterloading systems with Co-60 sources for high dose rate brachytherapy. The holders design focused on achieving accuracy, low cost, and a time efficient tool for use in clinical settings. Sensitivities greater than 0.6%/mm and maximum precisions better than 0.14 mm for the source position were obtained. The transit time was determined for the holders with a relative precision better than 19%.
