Abstract

Background: The MONTE CARLO (MC) method is not only used for dose calculations around BRACHYTHERAPY sources but also for benchmarking treatment planning systems (TPS) calculations. Materials and Methods: Three 60CO sources of GZP6 BRACHYTHERAPY unit were simulated using MCNP4C MC Code. The radial dose functions were calculated by MC method and GZP6 TPS and were compared. Results: There was a good agreement between MC and TPS calculations for all sources. Discrepancies up to 10% were observed for points close to the sources, but for those farther than 7mm from source center, differences were less than 2% for all sources. Conclusion: Our results showed that GZP6 TPS calculations can accurately be used for dose calculations in BRACHYTHERAPY treatments for points farther than 7mm from the source center. Iran.
