Physical and Dosimetric Aspects of the Iridium-Knife

The three-dimensional iridium-192 (192Ir) high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy manifests itself as a high-precision, hypofractionated, dose-escalating, minimally invasive method in the armamentarium of contemporary radiation oncology clinical applications. In this study, the physical aspects of the 19...
