- Title
Monte-Carlo characterization of a miniature source of characteristic X rays based on an implantable needle.
- Authors
Safronov, V.; Sozontov, E.; Gutman, G.
- Abstract
A new concept of an X-ray brachytherapy setup based on the use of fluorescence from a secondary target placed at the tip of an implantable needle is proposed. Spatial dose-rate distributions for four combinations of secondary target materials and shapes are calculated by the Monte-Carlo method.
