DOI 10.57239/pjlss-2024-22.1.00178
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The dose distribution around the applicator in HDR brachytherapy on GammaMed+ unit using a 192Ir source was evaluated using GafChromic films.The film was calibrated using a TrueBeam linear accelerator.The experimental dose distribution results match the planned Eclipse system and also indicate that the discrepancy between the planned system and measured isodose values is approximately ±1.2%.
