Measured dose distributions of iodine-125 sources and the computerised optimisation of their positions in brachytherapy planning

Includes bibliographies. === The use of 1-125 seeds in brachytherapy is widespread and becoming increasingly varied. The spatial dose distributions around two types of 1-125 seeds in general use, were measured using a Geiger-Muller chamber. Seeds with the 1-125 adsorbed onto resin spheres had a 10%...
