- W2183614082 abstract "Purpose: AAPM Task Group No. 43 report recommends a brachytherapy dosimetry formalism for interstitial brachytherapy sources containing radionuclides. Recently, small x-ray sources have been developed that offer the prospect of electronic brachytherapy. Xoft microTube has developed a micro-miniature x-ray brachytherapy source. The purpose of this project was to characterize the microTube within the TG-43 dosimetry framework. Materials and Methods: Experimental and calculative techniques were used to characterize the microTube dose distribution and, subsequently, determine the TG-43 dosimetry parameters. Experiments used radiochromic film, ionization chambers and an x-ray spectrometer for ascertaining depth-dose curves in air and water, air-kerma strength, angular dose distributions, x-ray energy spectra, and half-value layers. Calculations employed the MCNP (v.4C) radiation transport code. Since the TG-43 air kerma strength definition is based upon measurements using the NIST WAFAC, the formalism required broadening to accommodate beam current as it relates to source strength. Results: After manipulating the dose distributions with the geometry function, the measured radial dose function compared favorably with that determined using MCNP. With the microTube operating at 40 kVp and 0.30 mA, the air kerma strength exceeded 800 Gy cm 2 h -1 or approximately twice that of a 10 Ci 192 Ir source. Altering operating potential (i.e. kVp) permitted perturbation of the radial dose function and 2D anisotropy function. Conclusion: Dose distributions in water for the Xoft microTube have been measured and calculated, and the TG-43 dosimetry parameters have been obtained. Thus, the source may now be properly used in vivo. Study funded by Xoft micro Tube" @default.
