Effects of different carriers for adsorption of I-125 on brachytherapy sources

Background: One of the key techniques for the preparation of 125I seeds is adsorption of 125I onto silver bits coated by palladium (pd). Carriers played an important role in the adsorption of 125I on palladium. KI is used as a carrier for fixing of 125I onto silver wire bits coated with palladium. Materials and Methods: Three procedures KI, KOH, NH4OH were investigated for adsorption of ...

A New Approach for Heterogeneity Corrections for Cs-137 Brachytherapy Sources

Background: Most of the current brachytherapy treatment planning systems (TPS) use the TG-43U1 recommendations for dosimetry in water phantom, not considering the heterogeneity effects.Objective: The purpose of this study is developing a method for obtaining correction factors for heterogeneity for Cs-137 brachytherapy sources based on pre-calculated MC simulations and interpolation.Method: To ...
