Dosimetric evaluation of newly developed well-type ionization chamber for use in the calibration of brachytherapy sources

The well-type ionization chamber has been designed for convenient use in brachytherapy source strength calibration. The chamber has a volume of 240 cm 3 , weight of 2.5 kg, and is open to atmospheric conditions. The well-type ionization chamber dosimetric characteristics such as leakage current, sta...
