Brachytherapy has become the modality of choice for several cancer localizations,
minimizing the possibility of unacceptable risks for healthy tissues and providing a more cost …

The aim of this work was to investigate the applicability of MR-based polymer gel dosimetry
to measure the absorbed dose distribution at short distance from an iridium-192 …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential of in vivo thermoluminescence dosimetry to estimate
the accuracy of dose delivery in conformal high-dose-rate brachytherapy of prostate cancer …

The relative importance of the dose rate component owing to the beta spectrum emitted by
brachytherapy sources at the short radial distances of interest in intravascular and …

This work presents experimental dosimetry results for the new selectSeed prostate seed
design for use with the seedSelectron afterloading device, in accordance with the AAPM …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of the microDiamond detector
(mDD) type 60019 (PTW-Freiburg, Germany) for radial dose function measurements with …

Clinical dosimetry for high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy with a single stepping source
generally neglects the transit dose. This study investigates the effects of the transit dose in …

Geometry factors were calculated around commercially available pellets and elongated
brachytherapy sources taking into account their actual active core geometries. These …

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

This paper compares experimentally measured and calculated dose‐rate distributions for a
novel liquid‐filled brachytherapy balloon applicator (the GliaSite RTS), designed for the …
