Joint AAPM/IROC Houston Registry of Brachytherapy Sources Meeting
the AAPM Dosimetric Prerequisites

 

The AAPM and the IROC Houston maintain this Registry solely as a service to their members and clients. Neither the AAPM nor the IROC Houston endorses or approves specific products. No statement regarding the quality of construction, safety, or clinical effectiveness of specific sources is expressed or implied by inclusion or exclusion of sources from this Registry. The AAPM Brachytherapy Subcommittee bases its decisions to place or exclude source models in this Registry on the content of published papers and the vendor’s descriptions of its calibration procedure.

The AAPM and the IROC Houston neither warrant nor are responsible for:

(a) accuracy of the published dosimetry studies and applicability to the sources as manufactured;

(b) compliance of the vendor with its stated procedures; or

(c) the accuracy of any particular brachytherapy source calibration.

The AAPM does not monitor on a continuing basis the compliance of the vendor’s calibration procedures with the AAPM prerequisites nor the compatibility of its source design and manufacturing practices with the published dosimetry data.
