Dosimetry characterization of 32P catheter‐based vascular brachytherapy source wire

Dosimetry measurements and Monte Carlo simulations for a catheter‐based 32P endovascular brachytherapy source wire are described. The measured dose rates were obtained using both radiochromic dye film and an automated plastic scintillator. The investigated source has dimensions of 27 mm in length an...
