Beam quality correction factors for dose measurements around <sup>192</sup>Ir brachytherapy sources
k<sub>Q,Qo</sub> values were calculated for dose measurements around <sup>192</sup>Ir brachytherapy sources. Farmer chambers should be preferred for measurements at increased distances, whereas small or medium cavity volume detectors, not containing high-Z materials, should be used close to the source.
