Source Data

All brachytherapy data is sourced from geant-val.

Results

Radial Dose Distribution

The absolute plots are shown below. Note: due to the great density of simulated datapoints, only every 15th datapoint is shown for clarity.

Ratio

The ratio plots are shown below. Note: due to the great density of simulated datapoints, only every 15th datapoint is shown for clarity.
