Abstract

In this study, radial dosimetric characterization for specific internal geometry of seed source was determined. In this study, the separate contribution of radioactive components of the seed's unlikely single radioactive rod on dose distribution was investigated using model seed TheraSeed 200 source at parallel shells in a water phantom.
