Patient-specific dose calculation methods for high-dose-rate iridium-192 brachytherapy

In high-dose-rate iridium-192 brachytherapy, the radiation dose received by the patient is calculated according to the AAPM Task Group 43 (TG-43) formalism. This table-based dose superposition method uses dosimetry parameters derived with the radioactive iridium source centered in a water phantom. I...
