برآورد پارامترهای دوزیمتری پلاک های چشمی 106Ru/106Rh در براکی تراپی تومورهای ملانومای کوچک Uvea با استفاده از روش شبیه سازی مونت کارلو

Background and purpose: Concave eye applicators of Ru-106, a beta emitter source, have a lot of use in brachytherapy of intraocular tumors. This has led to the need of knowing the exact dose distribution caused by beta radiation to the tumor and its normal surrounding tissue. The purpose of this study was the 3D calculation of dose distribution for three Ru-106 plaques: CCA, CCB, and CGD in a h...
