Advanced brachytherapy dosimetric considerations
The practice of brachytherapy and brachytherapy dosimetry was investigated with emphasis on evaluations of dose distributions and shielding considerations for both photon- and neutron-emitting radionuclides. Monte Carlo simulation methods were employed to calculate dose distributions for virtual …
