The dose distribution produced by a ³²P‐coated stent Journal Articles

abstract

• The dose distribution surrounding uniform cylinders of 32P has been calculated in order to obtain information relevant to the utilization of radioactive stents. The radiological impact on two major components of vascular tissue, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells is also considered.
