Investigation of inter‐source and intra‐source spectral variations in an electronic brachytherapy source using spectral measurements and Monte Carlo simulations
This study comprehensively compared the measured and simulated spectra of the Xoft S7500 source model. The differences in the depth-dose curves are within 2% as recommended by the AAPM TG-56<sup>8</sup> requirements, and the variations in the spectra for the source model S7500 lie within the recommended range.
