Description

The main objective of this work was estimate the voxels S values for 188Re at cubical geometry using the MCNP-4C code for the simulation of radiation transport and energy deposition. Mean absorbed dose to target voxels per radioactive decay in a source voxels were estimated and reported for 188Re and Y90. A comparison of voxels S values computed with the MCNP code the data reported in MIRD pamphlet 17 for 90Y was performed in order to evaluate our results
