Description

The aim of this paper is to study IsoRay Company's new type of Cesium-131 (model Cs-1) brachytherapy source's dosimetric. MCNP is used to calculate Cesium-131's dosimetric. VIP-Man's prostate data are used to replace virtual water phantom for brachytherapy dosimetric Monte Carlo simulation. The result of dose rate constant, radial dose function, and anisotropy function can be used in clinical implementation. (authors)
