The use of 1-125 seeds in brachytherapy is widespread and becoming increasingly varied. The spatial dose distributions around two types of 1-125 seeds in general use, were measured using a Geiger-Muller chamber. Seeds with the 1-125 adsorbed onto resin spheres had a 10% less anisotropic dose distribution than seeds containing a silver wire with the 1-125 adsorbed onto it. An interpolative method was developed for fast dose calculations taking this anisotropy into account. 2015-05-06T07:11:27Z 2015-05-06T07:11:27Z 1987 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12732 eng application/pdf Division of Medical Physics Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
