Strength estimation of a moving 125Iodine source during implantation in brachytherapy: application to linked sources

This study sought to demonstrate the feasibility of estimating the source strength during implantation in brachytherapy. The requirement for measuring the strengths of the linked sources was investigated. The utilized sources were 125I with air kerma strengths of 8.38–8.63 U (μGy m2 h–1). Measuremen...
