Dosimetric investigation of LDR brachytherapy ¹⁹²Ir wires by Monte Carlo and TPS calculations.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the dose rate distribution around (192)Ir wires used as radioactive sources in low-dose-rate brachytherapy applications.Materials and Methods: Monte Carlo modeling of a 0.3-mm diameter source and its surrounding water medium was performed for five di...

Then, the simulation results were compared with the calculations from the XiO CMS commercial treatment planning system.Conclusion: The study results were found to be in concordance with the treatment planning system calculations except for the shorter wires at close distances. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
