Description

The objective of the work was to analyze relevant variations during the conception of the iodine-125 seed for brachytherapy that are not considered by the dosimetric protocol of TG 43. The dose formalism in water from TG 43 was considered. The main interest was to avoid future inconsistencies when this protocol is applied for both experimental and Monte Carlo dosimetry, evaluating the effects of two geometric parameters not normally observed in order to assess whether there is an impact on the final dose rate (variation 1: seed length and variation 2: nucleus length).
