    Abstract:
    A bilateral comparison of national dosimetric standards for high dose rate brachytherapy has been conducted between the Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel and the University of Wisconsin Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory. A complete overview of the methods that are currently in use to establish the two national standards is given. The comparison has been carried out using well-type transfer ionization chambers. Three units have been calibrated in both laboratories, and calibration coefficients have been compared. The discrepancies between the two measurements are within 0.3%.
