Monte carlo calculation of beam quality and phantom scatter corrections for lithium formate electron paramagnetic resonance dosimeter for high-energy brachytherapy dosimetry

Monte carlo calculation of beam quality and phantom scatter corrections for lithium formate electron paramagnetic resonance dosimeter for high-energy brachytherapy dosimetry

Purpose: To investigate beam quality correction, KQQ0 (r) and phantom scatter correction, Kphan (r) for lithium formate dosimeter as a function of distance r along the transverse axis of the high-energy brachytherapy sources 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 169Yb using the Monte Carlo-based EGSnrc code system...
