Abstract
We compared the Monte Carlo evaluation and GafChromic MD-55 film experimental measurement of 188Re liquid-filled balloons in intravascular brachytherapy using two phantoms of 6 mm vascular diameter, a phantom of 4 mm vascular diameter and a phantom of 3 mm vascular diameter. A dose-evaluation interface program was developed and was shown to be capable of quickly providing information such as the necessary 188Re source irradiation time to deliver a prescribed dose.
