In this work, the dose rate distribution of a new Ir ‐ 192 high dose rate source (Flexisource used in the afterloading Flexitron system, Isodose Control, Veenendaal, The Netherlands) is studied by means of Monte Carlo techniques using the GEANT4 code. The dosimetric parameters of the Task Group No. 43 Report (TG43) formalism and two‐dimensional rectangular look‐up tables have been obtained.
