Purpose: To evaluate the dose distribution outside of a cyst instilled with phosphorous-32 (P-32, an electron emitter with a short effective range of 2-8 mm and average energy of 0.69 MeV, used to treat cystic craniopharyngioma) as a function of cyst size with and without plating (migration and adhesion of P-32 to the cyst surface).

Methods And Materials: A cystic craniopharyngioma treated with instillation of P-32 was approximated by a sphere of uniformly distributed and plated chromic P-32 colloid.
