An analytical Monte Carlo simulation code has been used to perform dosimetry calculations
around an high dose‐rate brachytherapy source utilized in the widely used microSelectron …

In this article we introduce a new high‐intensity source design for use in a recently
reengineered microSelectron‐HDR remote afterloading device for high dose‐rate (HDR) …

A new microSelectron pulsed dose rate source has been designed, containing two active
pellets instead of one inactive and one active pellet contained in the old design, to facilitate …

Monte Carlo based dosimetry is presented for three HDR sources with a unique
configuration of two active pellets in contact or spaced 9 and 11 mm apart. Results are …

An important point to consider in a brachytherapy dosimetry study is the phantom size
involved in calculations or experimental measurements. As pointed out by Williamson [Med …

Very few dosimetry data are available for the current generation of high-dose-rate (HDR)
192 Ir sources, which have broad application in remotely afterloaded brachytherapy. The …

An analytical Monte Carlo simulation code, incorporating in detail source construction and
dimensions, was used to investigate the dosimetric characteristics of the VariSource high …

We have performed a comprehensive dosimetric characterization of the model 6711 seed
using both experimental [thermoluminscent dosimetry (TLD)] and theoretical (Monte Carlo …

Certain brachytherapy dose distributions, such as those for LDR prostate implants, are
readily modeled by treatment planning systems (TPS) that use the superposition principle of …

This study presents the results of EGSnrc Monte Carlo calculations of the dose distribution
surrounding a high dose rate brachytherapy source and 14 high dose rate and pulsed dose …
