Effect of tissue composition on dose distribution in brachytherapy with various photon emitting sources

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to compare the dose in various soft tissues in brachytherapy with photon emitting sources. MATERIAL AND METHODS: (103)Pd, (125)I, (169)Yb, (192)Ir brachytherapy sources were simulated with MCNPX Monte Carlo code, and their dose rate constant and radial dose function...
