Design of an Ytterbium-169 Brachytherapy Source for Gold Nanoparticle-aided Radiation Therapy

Monte Carlo calculation of shielded colpostat effect on rectum received dose in high dose rate brachytherapy with Cobalt-60 sources

Background: In the current study the effect of shielded colpostat on rectum received dose was calculated in cervical brachytherapy using Monte Carlo (MC) method. Materials and Methods: Two 60Co sources of GZP6 brachytherapy unit used for intracavitary treatments were simulated using MCNPX Monte Carlo code. Also the two types of colpostats including shielded and unshielded were simulated inside ...

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 ...
