Measurements and Monte Carlo calculation of radial dose and anisotropy functions of BEBIG 60Co high-dose-rate brachytherapy source in a bounded water phantom.

Conclusions: In this study, we validated the egs_brachy calculation of the TG43U1 dataset for the BEBIG 60Co source for an unbounded geometry. Subsequently, we measured the g(r) and F(r,θ) for the same source using an in-house water phantom. In addition, we validated these experimental results with the values calculated using the egs_brachy MC code, with the same geometry and similar phantom material as used in the experimental methods.
