Description

A comparison is made of 137Cs sources of CMJ and CMT types of Czechoslovak production with similar CDC-J and CDCS-J sources manufactured by Amersham of Great Britain. Next to external dimensions the design was checked of the sources using autoradiography and X-ray radiography. The activity of the sources was measured and their quality determined (impurity content). Two calculation models were used for the calculation of dose distribution in the model and the obtained results were compared with published data. It was found that the Czechoslovak 137Cs source for clinical use has satisfactory parameters and its quality is comparable with the British source. (E.S.). 6 figs., 7 refs
