A Monte Carlo based dose verification tool for an HDR Ir‐192 brachytherapy source and its evaluation on extremity malignancies
Abstract Background TG‐43 formalism dose calculation for brachytherapy with the homogeneous water‐based assumption is widely used, which can lead to dose inaccuracy in treatment planning. Purpose Extremity malignancies are also treated with high‐dose‐rate (HDR) 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy, a treatment site that ha...
