New 125I brachytherapy source IsoSeed I25.S17plus: Monte Carlo dosimetry simulation and comparison to sources of similar design
PURPOSE To determine the relative dose rate distribution around the new (125)I brachytherapy source IsoSeed I25.S17plus and report results in a form suitable for clinical use. Results for the new source are also compared to corresponding results for other commercially available (125)I sources of similar design. MATERIAL AND METHODS Monte Carlo simulations were performed using the MCNP5 v.1.6 ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo dosimetry of a new 90Y brachytherapy source
PURPOSE In this study, we attempted to obtain full dosimetric data for a new (90)Y brachytherapy source developed by the College of Chemistry (Sichuan University) for use in high-dose-rate after-loading systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS The dosimetric data for this new source were used as required by the dose calculation formalisms proposed by the AAPM Task Group 60 and Task Group 149. The active...
متن کاملThermoluminescent and Monte Carlo dosimetry of IR06‐P103d brachytherapy source
This work presents experimental dosimetry results for a new 103Pd brachytherapy seed, in accordance with the AAPM TG-43U1 recommendation that all new low-energy interstitial brachytherapy seeds should undergo one Monte Carlo (MC) and at least one experimental dosimetry characterization. Measurements were performed using TLD-GR200A circular chip dosimeters using standard methods employing thermo...
متن کاملMonte Carlo dosimetry of the eye plaque design used at the St. Erik Eye Hospital for (125)I brachytherapy.
PURPOSE At St. Erik Eye Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, ocular tumors of apical height above 6 mm are treated with brachytherapy, using iodine-125 seeds attached to a gold alloy plaque while the treatment planning is performed assuming homogeneous water surroundings. The aim of this work was to investigate the dose-modifying effects of the plaque and the seed fixating silicone rubber glue. MET...
متن کاملComparison of dosimetry parameters of two commercially available Iodine brachytherapy seeds using Monte Carlo calculations
Background: Iodine brachytherapy sources with low photon energies have been widely used in treating cancerous tumors. Dosimetric parameters of brachytherapy sources should be determined according to AAPM TG-43U1 recommendations before clinical use. Monte Carlo codes are reliable tools in calculation of these parameters for brachytherapy sources. Materials and Methods: Dosimetric param...
