| Abstract: | Two-dimensional relative dose distributions have been measured around 125I brachytherapy seeds. The two seed models studied, models 6711 and 6712, were manufactured by the 3M Company. Silicon detectors immersed in water phantoms were used to measure the dose. A computerized data acquisition system that controlled the radial position of the diode and the angular rotation of the seed, as well as a manually controlled system were used to collect and store the data. Our results show that the two seed models have relative dose distributions which are quite similar; however, the absolute dose distributions are sufficiently different to warrant separate look-up tables for the two seed models. Additionally, our results are compared with dose distribution data previously obtained for the model 6711 seed. © 1992, American Association of Physicists in Medicine. All rights reserved. |
