Theoretical estimate of relative depth-doses for the asymmetric and spherical 106Ru/106Rh COC-type plaque used in radiotherapy

In this work we present results of relative dose rate along central and lateral axis of the 106Ru/106Rh COC model plaque used for the treatment of tumors close to the optical nerve. The calculations were based on the beta-point dose function and are compared with an available data obtained by means...
