摘要：
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of Fricke gel-layer dosimeters for the measurement of in-phantom dose distributions produced by a Ir-192 brachytherapy source. The doses obtained were compared to measurements performed with thermoluminescent dosimeters and treatment planning calculations. Fricke gel-layer dosimeters have proven to be a promising tool to measure three-dimensional dose distributions in high dose-rate brachytherapy. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
