In the paper the authors studied the influence of wire profile on the homogeneity distribution of radioactivity of iridium-192 along the wire. The authors propose the improvements in the quality control procedure that will provide more accurate measurement data and suggest changes in control devices.37-39openAccessneoplasmsbrachytherapyiridium 192wiresinternal irradiationradiation source implantsdose rateslow dose irradiationquality controlArtigo de periódico15910.2478/nuka-2014-0003https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5054-0799https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1691-2314http://orcid.org/0000-0003-1335-8864https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2943-6097https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7303-6720https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4316-8335
