Monte Carlo modeling of <sup> 60</sup> Co HDR brachytherapy source in water and in different solid water phantom materials
The reference medium for brachytherapy dose measurements is water. Accuracy of dose measurements of brachytherapy sources is critically dependent on precise measurement of the source-detector distance. A solid phantom can be precisely machined and hence source-detector distances can be accurately de...
