| Article Title: | Three-dimensional dosimetry imaging of I-125 plaque for eye cancer treatment |
| Abstract: | Treatment of ocular cancers using eye plaque brachytherapy is now an established medical procedure. However, current QA for these eye plaques is quite rudimentary, limiting the opportunities for precise pre-tumour plaque customisation. This paper proposes and experimentally validates a new technique for imaging of eye plaque dose distributions using a high-resolution pixelated silicon detector. Results are presented demonstrating the 2D and 3D isodose surfaces produced using experimental data collected using this method. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
