- W3003007219 abstract "Leipzig-style skin brachytherapy applicators are an excellent choice for the treatment of small surface lesions, since they can be used with a high dose rate source to produce a tightly constrained treatment field on the desired area of the skin. The dosimetry of these applicators is challenging to independently verify due to their small dimensions, complex energy spectrum and steep dose gradients. In particular the close proximity of the brachytherapy source to the treatment region is cause for concern, since small variations in the position of the radioactive source may significantly affect the resulting dose distribution. The aim of this work was to assess the dosimetry of these applicators using three independently techniques and use these results to examine the effect of variation in source position on the dose distribution. Simulation of different sized applicators in conjunction with a Gammamed + Ir192 source was performed using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo code. Dose distributions at the prescription depth and at the surface generated by Monte Carlo were compared to the outputs of a commercially available treatment planning system and measurements using radiochromic film. Source displacements of up to 0.5 mm in the vertical direction, 0.65 mm in the horizontal direction, and rotations of the source by up to 5° were all simulated. Changes in dose of over 6% at the prescription point and reductions in coverage at the 100% isodose level of several millimetres were observed even for small shifts of the source from its intended position. This work demonstrates that variation in the position of the radiation source is the dominant source of uncertainty in the use of these types of applicators. Centres wishing to perform treatments using these applicators are advised to take steps to control the uncertainty and ensure it remains at an acceptable level." @default.
