Evaluation of a water phantom detector‐applicator setup for independent experimental verification of <sup>106</sup> Ru ocular brachytherapy applicators
BACKGROUND: Ru depth-dose distributions. PURPOSE: Ru coating. METHODS: Ru applicators. RESULTS: Ru applicators revealed a depth dependent inhomogeneity effect decreasing with depth. CONCLUSIONS: Ru applicator measurements in water. The silicon detectors successfully characterized both high and low activity applicators up to 10 mm water depth. The diamond detector proved viable for measurements of the applicator with activity 17.8-18.4 MBq, but it lost stability with depth when measuring the one-year old 8.3 MBq activity applicator.
