Keeping an eye on the ring: COMS plaque loading optimization for improved dose conformity and homogeneity

PURPOSE: To improve tumor dose conformity and homogeneity for COMS plaque brachytherapy by investigating the dosimetric effects of varying component source ring radionuclides and source strengths. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The MCNP5 Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport code was used to simulate plaque h...
