Abstract:Introduction: High-dose-rate (HDR) 60Co brachytherapy necessitates accurate dose calculations to minimize normal tissue toxicity and late malignancy risks. Conventionally, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group 43 (TG-43) formalism, utilizing table-based dose superposition, has been employed for dose calculations, overlooking tissue inhomogeneity effects.
Material and methods: This study focuses on characterizing the high-dose-rate BEBIG 60Co brac… Show more
