Predicting dose and cell survival distributions for brachytherapy sources

Creator:

Stringham, Michael J.

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is to determine the biological impact of dose from brachytherapy sources commonly used in cancer treatment. To achieve this goal, the Monte Carlo code PENELOPE was used to simulate point sources of four different isotopes (¹⁰³Pd, ¹²⁵I, ¹³⁷Cs, and ⁹⁰Sr) in an infinite medium of...
