Numerical calculation of relative dose rates from spherical 106Ru beta sources used in ophthalmic brachytherapy
Concave beta sources of 106Ru/106Rh are used in radiotherapy to treat ophthalmic tumors. However, a problem that arises is the difficult determination of absorbed dose distributions around such sources mainly because of the small range of the electrons and the steep dose gradients. In this sense, nu...
