A Monte Carlo-based dosimetric study of the GZP 60Co source

Objective To simulate and calculate the dosimetric parameters of the GZP 60Co source that has been clinically used in high-dose-rate brachytherapy.Methods The EGSnrc Monte Carlo software was used to simulate and calculate the dosimetric parameters of a well known BEBIG 60Co source (Co0.A86).The results were compared with the actual parameters to verify the feasibility of this method.A Monte Carlo model of the GZP 60Co source for high-dose-rate brachytherapy was established to simulate and calculate its dosimetric parameters in the same way.Results For the BEBIG 60Co source,the resuhs were well accorded with the standard.The air-kerma strength per unit activity (SK/A) and dose rate constant (∧)deviated from the standard by 0.2％ and 1.0％,respectively.The curves of the radial dose function gL(r) and the anisotropy function F (r,θ) fit well.For the GZP 60Co source,the SK/A and ∧values were calculated as 3.011 × 10-7 cGycm2h-1Bq-1 and 1.118 cGyh-1 U-1 in channel l&2 and 3.002× 10-7 cGycm2h-1 Bq-1 and 1.110 cGyh-1U-1 in channel 3.The gL(r),F (r,θ),and dose rate per unit air-kerma strength in a liquid water phantom were listed as the American Association of Physicists in Medicine recommended.Conclusions The results can be used in planning system and quality control for the GZP 60Co source.
