    Area of Science:

    • Medical Physics
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Brachytherapy

    Background:

    • Accurate dosimetry is crucial for effective brachytherapy.
    • Iodine-125 (125I) is a commonly used radionuclide in permanent brachytherapy implants.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calculate and present detailed dose distribution for 125I implants.
    • To evaluate minimum peripheral and maximum central doses for various implant geometries.
    • To suggest an optimal seed spacing rule.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized recently published depth dose data for calculations.
    • Calculated dose distributions for square planar and cubic volume implants.
    • Evaluated doses for seeds with 1 mCi (37 MBq) equivalent activity spaced 1 cm apart.
