Calculation of doses in intracavitary therapy.
The computer simulation of the gamma-energy spectrum of four radionuclides usually used in intracavitary therapy was performed. A Monte Carlo method was used for simulation of the decay schemes. The emerging gamma-energy spectra of the radioactive source assemblies were obtained as the result of the interaction of emitted source radiation with the protective stainless steel sheath and the radioactive material itself.
