Comparative study of radiation dose measurement around 1921r source with manual calculation

The purpose this study is to measure dose around an HDR 1921r source in a vaginal-applicator. The dosimeters used were gafchromic film, and LiF Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD 100 chip). The manual calculation was carried out to compare the results with measurement. Gafchromic film was calibrat...
