Development of GATE Monte Carlo Code for Simulation and Dosimetry of New I-125 Seeds in Eye Plaque Brachytherapy

ConclusionsOur simulation results show that although new model of the125I brachytherapy source having a slightly larger dimension than IAI-125A, it can be used for eye melanoma treatment because the COMS eye plaque loaded with IrSeed-125 could produce similar results to the IsoAid seeds, which is applicable for clinical plaque brachytherapy for uveal melanoma.
