Monte Carlo dosimetry of a novel Yttrium‐90 disc source for episcleral brachytherapy

Xiangyun Chang,
Lyu Huang,
Jian Liu
et al.

Abstract: PurposeTo calculate the dose distribution using Monte Carlo simulations for a novel high‐dose‐rate Yttrium‐90 (Y‐90) disc source recently developed for episcleral brachytherapy and provide a lookup table for treatment planning.MethodsMonte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the in‐water dose distribution of the Y‐90 disc source using the “GATE”, a software based on the “Geant4” Monte Carlo simulation toolkit developed by the international OpenGATE collaboration. The geometry of this novel beta sourc… Show more

“…Our low-dose-rate to high-dose-rate conversions and US National Institute of Standards and Technology-traceable Y 90 Disc calibration methods have been previously described. 5 , 6 That study also included a formal radiation safety assessment. The methods described were found to be safe; therefore, no thyroid shields or lead aprons were required.…”
