Dosimetric Impacts of Source Migration, Radioisotope Type, and Decay with Permanent Implantable Collagen Tile Brachytherapy for Brain Tumors

Introduction: Brachytherapy using permanently implantable collagen tiles containing cesium-131 (Cs-131) is indicated for treatment of malignant intracranial neoplasms. We quantified Cs-131 source migration and modeled the resulting dosimetric impact for Cs-131, iodine-125 (I-125), and palladium-103...
