Confirmation of dose model input data (
from publications
) for
each source type. The basic
literature datasets
selected for use
and comparisons should be identified.
Comparison of single point, 2-D and 3-D dose distributions with
hand calculations
for a single source, for each source type in the
source library.
Comparison of point, 2-D and 3-D dose distributions with
hand
calculations
for multiple source configurations, for at least one
source type.
Any
applicator shielding effects
included or neglected should be
explained and documented.
Verify correct behavior of dose calculations, sometimes
including
tissue multiple scattering and attenuation
, at selected distances
from the source.
