TG‐43U1 parameterization of elongated RadioCoil P103d brachytherapy sources
Recently, to eliminate problems associated with seed type sources, RadioMed Corporation (Tyngsboro, MA) introduced RadioCoil 103Pd sources for interstitial prostate implants. The RadioCoil sources are available in integral lengths ranging from 1.0 cm to 6.0 cm. In this project, dosimetric characteristics of these sources were determined following the TG-43U1 recommendations, with consideration ...

متن کاملCylindrical coordinate‐based TG‐43U1 parameters for dose calculation around elongated brachytherapy sources
In 2001, the use of cylindrical coordinates was demonstrated to be more suitable than was the use of polar coordinates for accurate computer calculations during treatment planning for 192Ir intravascular brachytherapy sources. In the present work, we investigated the applicability of cylindrical coordinate-based TG-43U1 parameters for dosimetric evaluation and dose calculations for RadioCoil 10...
متن کاملDeveloping a Treatment Planning Software Based on TG-43U1 Formalism for Cs-137 LDR Brachytherapy
BACKGROUND The old Treatment Planning Systems (TPSs) used for intracavitary brachytherapy with Cs-137 Selectron source utilize traditional dose calculation methods, considering each source as a point source. Using such methods introduces significant errors in dose estimation. As of 1995, TG-43 is used as the main dose calculation formalism in treatment TPSs. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this stu...
متن کاملDetermination of TG-43 Dosimetric Parameters for Photon Emitting Brachytherapy Sources
Objective: Brachytherapy sources are widely used for the treatment of cancer. The report of Task Group No. 43 (TG-43) of American Association of Physicists in Medicine is known as the most common method for the determination of dosimetric parameters for brachytherapy sources. The aim of this study is to obtain TG-43 dosimetric parameters for 60Co, 137Cs, 192Ir and 103Pd brachyt...
