An analytic approach to the dosimetry of a new BEBIG 60 Co high-dose-rate brachytherapy source

We present a simple analytic tool for calculating the dose rate distribution in water for a new BEBIG high-dose-rate (HDR) 60 Co brachytherapy source. In the analytic tool, we consider the active source as a point located at the geometric center of the 60 Co material. The influence of the activity d...
