An iodine-125 plaque for radiotherapy of the eye: manufacture and dosimetric considerations.
A comparison of computer dose calculations and thermoluminescent dosemeter measurements in a phantom is given for an iodine-125 plaque for radiotherapy of the eye. The off-central-axis measurements and their relationship to the central-axis depth doses are documented. It was found that the gold backing of the applicator did not influence dosimetry in the phantom and thus the eye.
