a standard method for calculating dose around brachytherapy sources from air-kerma strength, dose-rate constant, geometry, radial dose and anisotropy functions.

In medical physics, TG-43 formalism refers to a standard method for calculating dose around brachytherapy sources from air-kerma strength, dose-rate constant, geometry, radial dose and anisotropy functions. This meaning comes from Nath (1995) in Medical Physics.[1]
