Dosimetric properties of the new BrachySeed™ model LS‐1 source
Abstract
The BrachySeed model LS-1 is one of the latest in a series of new brachytherapy 125I seeds that have recently become available commercially for interstitial implants. The dosimetric properties of the seed were investigated analytically, experimentally, and by Monte Carlo simulation. Following the AAPM Task Group 43 formalism, the radial dose function, dose rate constant, and anisotropy parameters were determined. Experimental measurements were …
