The purpose of this report is twofold: to provide guidelines to Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratories (SSDLs) on how to establish a standard of absorbed dose to water in a Co-60 gamma ray beam and to provide guidelines to clinical physicists on the changes that can be expected when IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 398 (TRS-398) is adopted in a hospital environment in place of another code of practice based on air kerma standards. The results of measurements made with Co-60 beams, low and medium energy X ray beams, high energy photon and electron beams, and proton and heavy ion beams are.

The brachytherapy process requires consistent reference dosimetry that is traceable to metrological primary standards and common procedures to be followed for reference dosimetry globally. The Code of Practice is addressed to both Secondary Standards Dosimetry Laboratories and hospitals. It fulfills the need for a systematic and internationally unified approach to the calibration and use of vented well-type re-entrant ionisation chambers in determining the strength of brachytherapy sources with intensities measurable by such detectors. The dosimetry formalism as well as common procedures for calibration, reference dosimetry, reference-class instrument assessment and commissioning of the well-type ionisation chamber system are provided.

"This publication is supplementary to TRS 457: Dosimetry in Diagnostic Radiology: An International Code of Practice. It details the application of the code of practice, both in the area of standards laboratories and in clinical medical physics. New material in the areas of kerma area product (KAP) meter calibration and discussions on beam qualities appropriate for KAP meter and mammography measurements are presented. The results of diagnostic dosimetry implementation tests, along with recommendations for use of the code of practice, are discussed, including examples of CT dose calculations and of the estimation of uncertainty."--Publisher description.
