heal.abstract	A simple, time efficient, analytical model incorporating heterogeneities and body dimensions around a point 192Ir source is generalized for accurate dosimetry around commercially available 192Ir brachytherapy sources. The generalized model was verified in dosimetry of a clinical 192Ir high dose rate prostate monotherapy application, involving 16 catheters and 83 source dwell positions, through comparison with corresponding treatment planning system data.	en
