An iodine-125 plaque for radiotherapy of the eye: manufacture and dosimetric considerations

A. N. Harnett, MRCP, FRCR * and E. S. Thomson, BSc, MSc

Department of Radiotherapy, St Bartholomew's Hospital, West Smithfield, London EC1A 7BE

A comparison of computer dose calculations and thermoluminescent dosemeter measurements in a phantom is given for an iodine-125 plaque for radiotherapy of the eye. The off-central-axis measurements and their relationship to the central-axis depth doses are documented. It was found that the gold backing of the applicator did not influence dosimetry in the phantom and thus the eye.
