title: Radioisotopes and dosimetry in vascular brachytherapy.
abstract: This chapter summarizes the current status of available isotopes for vascular brachytherapy. The physics and dosimetric aspects of current and new sources would have a great deal of influence in the outcome of clinical trials and eventual success of brachytherapy in treating vascular disease.
