Implementation of the AAPM Task Group 43 dosimetric formalism for 192Ir wires used as interstitial sources in low dose-rate (LDR) brachytherapy applications is investigated. Geometry factors, dose-rate constant values, radial dose functions, and anisotropy functions, utilized in this formalism, were calculated for various lengths of all commercially available wire source designs by means of a well-established Monte Carlo simulation code and an improved modification of the Sievert integral method. Results are presented in the form of look up tables that allow interpolation for dose-rate calculations around all practically used wire lengths, with accuracy acceptable for clinical applications.
