Radiation protection and dosimetry issues for patients with prostate cancer after I-125 low-dose-rate brachytherapy permanent implant

The aim of this work was to analyze the exposure rates measured in the proximity of patients who underwent prostate low-dose-rate brachytherapy with I-125 implant. Effective doses to relatives and to population were computed to estimate the time to reach radioprotection dose constraints.
