Comparison of the Y-90 brachytherapy and Ir-192 brachytherapy of skin tumors: a simulation study
Skin brachytherapy is a successful practice for treating skin cancer patients. Although a gamma source like an Iridium-192 (Ir-192) is commonly used in the skin brachytherapy, the use of a beta source like Yttrium-90 (Y-90) has also been investigated for this purpose. In the current study, we simula...
