Purpose: To investigate the suitability of (144)Ce for both interstitial and intravascular brachytherapy applications.
Methods And Materials: Monte Carlo calculations of radial dose rate distributions in water were performed for (144)Ce in a spring-shaped source and compared with two commonly used interstitial and intravascular sources, (192)Ir and (32)P. The numeric simulations were checked experimentally with a calibrated ionization chamber in a water phantom.
