Abstract
Overall uncertainty assessment and minimizing the dose delivery variation is a key task in brachytherapy to improve the local control and reduce the healthy organ toxicity. According to the Analysis guidelines of GEC-ESTRO and the AAPM, each type of uncertainty should be quantified and Monte Carlo dose estimation uncertainty analysis is required as a component affecting the overall uncertainty. Although there are three published studies in peer-reviewed journals as well as consensus datasets for Monte Carlo dosimetric characterization of Co0.A86, the detailed uncertainty analysis recommended by the TG-138 has not been published yet. This study attempted to report the detailed uncertainty analysis and providing the new dosimetric datasets for this source.
