    • Dosimetry

    Background:

    • Accurate dose distribution is crucial for effective radiotherapy.
    • Understanding the behavior of Iodine-125 (125I) sources in tissue is essential for brachytherapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To calculate the dose distribution of an 125I source in tissue.
    • To determine a more accurate absorbed dose constant for 125I.
    • To evaluate the impact of encapsulation material on dose distribution.

    Main Methods:

    • Calculations using absorbed dose constant and point isotropic source buildup factors.
    • Inclusion of encapsulation material effects in calculations.
    • Verification of depth-dose values using thermoluminescent dosimeter measurements.
