ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the interseed dose attenuation for multiple 125I seeds.Methods Monte Carlo simulation was done by Geant 4 to investigate the dose distribution of single seed and multiple seeds.The results were compared with the dose calculation method from TG43-U1 and examined by experiments.Results The difference of single seed dose distribution between Monte Carlo method and line source model was ± 3%.The difference between Monte Carlo method and experiment result was ± 5%.The interseed dose attenuation of multiple seeds at the interesting points was 3.8% to 13.2% and the average interseed dose attenuation was 7.2%.The difference of experiment result and Monte Carlo result was less than 6%.Conclusions The interseed attenuation is about 7% and the maximum value may be larger than 13% for multiple seeds.The interseed dose attenuation may be larger in tissue.So it is not accurate to calculate the dose distribution by using TG43-U1.
