Monte Carlo Dosimetry of the 60Co BEBIG High Dose Rate for Brachytherapy.
The use of high-dose-rate brachytherapy is currently a widespread practice worldwide. The most common isotope source is 192Ir, but 60Co is also becoming available for HDR. One of main advantages of 60Co compared to 192Ir is the economic and practical benefit because of its longer half-live, which is...
