Lymphoma, encompassing a wide spectrum of immune system malignancies, presents significant complexities in its early detection, management, and prognosis assessment since it can mimic post-infectious/inflammatory diseases. The heterogeneous nature of lymphoma makes it challenging to definitively pinpoint valuable biomarkers for predicting tumor biology and selecting the most effective treatment strategies. Although molecular imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), specifically F-FDG PET/CT, hold significant importance in the diagnosis of lymphoma, prognostication, and assessment of treatment response, they still face significant challenges.

Purpose: Obtaining the reference dose rate for a radioactive applicator consisting of a plate as a 32P absorber, a steel window and a steel capsule.
Methods: Relative dosimetry and dose profile were measured using two types of radiochromic films, HD-810 and EBT1, for the P applicator and were compared with Monte Carlo simulation data.
