Impact of different Ir-192 source models on dose calculations in high-dose-rate brachytherapy
In high-dose-rate brachytherapy, the geometry of the radioactive source is sometimes updated. Some institutions use a different source model for the dose calculation in treatment planning and treatment. The effects of this discrepancy were examined for four types of treatment plans, and ten patients...
