title: Energy absorption in cylinders containing an off-axis linear source.
abstract: An analytical model for evaluating the absorption of gamma rays by cylindrical tissues has been developed. This model introduces the case of an off-axis linear source of radiation inside the cylinder. The total energy absorbed by the tissue for different source strengths, absorption properties of the tissues, and the aspect ratio of the length of the cylinder to its radius have been evaluated.
