Measured transverse‐axis dosimetric parameters of the model STM1251 I125 interstitial source
The recent popularity of permanent implants for treatment of prostate cancer has created a large demand for low energy seed sources. Vendors have introduced new source designs to meet this demand. The AAPM has recommended that all low energy interstitial brachytherapy seed sources be subjected to independent dosimetric evaluations, preferably using experimental measurements as well as Monte Car...
متن کاملDetermination of Dosimetric Characteristics of IrSeed 125I Brachytherapy Source
Introduction Low dose rate brachytherapy sources have been widely used for interstitial implants in tumor sites, particularly in prostate. Dosimetric characteristics of a new IrSeed 125I brachytherapy source have been determined using the LiF thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips. Materials and Methods Dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function around the IrSeed 125I so...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations and experimental measurements of the TG‐43U1‐recommended dosimetric parameters of 125I (Model IR‐Seed2) brachytherapy source
A new design of 125I (Model IR-Seed2) brachytherapy source has been manufactured recently at the Applied Radiation Research School, Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute in Iran. The source consists of six resin beads (0.5 mm diameter) that are sealed in a cylindrical titanium capsule of 0.7 mm internal and 0.8 mm external diameters. This work aims to evaluate the dosimetric paramet...
متن کاملExperimental determination of dosimetric characteristics of Best 125I brachytherapy source.
125I brachytherapy sources are being used for interstitial implants in tumor sites such as the prostate. Recently, the Best 125I source became commercially available for interstitial brachytherapy treatment. Dosimetric characteristics (dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function) of this source were experimentally determined, following the AAPM Task Group 43 recommendation...
