A study about the measurement method of the homogeneity of radioactivity along an iridium-192 wire used in brachytherapy

The Nuclear and Energy Research Institute has produced, since 1998, iridium-192 wires used in low dose rate brachytherapy. In the paper the authors studied the influence of wire profile on the homogeneity distribution of radioactivity of iridium-192 along the wire. The authors propose the improvemen...
