Abstract: Purpose: The present article deals with investigating the effects of tissue heterogeneity consideration on the dose distribution of 192Ir and 60Co sources in high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT). Materials and Methods: A Monte Carlo N-Particle 5 (MCNP5) code was developed for the simulation of the dose distribution in homogeneous and heterogeneous phantoms for cervical cancer patients. The phantoms represented water-equivalent and human body-equivalent… Show more
