MCNP5 Monte Carlo based dosimetry for the Nucletron Iridium-192 high dose-rate brachytherapy source with tissue heterogeneity corrections

A Monte Carlo model has been developed using MCNP5 to simulate the Nucletron Ir-192 HDR source in order to investigate the influence of tissue heterogeneities on dose calculations compared to the dose in homogeneous water media, as it is typically calculated by brachytherapy Treatment Planning Syste...
