Abstract
Methods and results are given to enable the computation of radiation dose as a function of depth in the wall of a suprasellar cyst containing radioactivity. Both .beta.- and .gamma.-emitting nuclides are considered. The methodology considers distribution of the radioactivity on the cyst wall (spherical shell geometry) and distribution uniformly in the fluid (volume geometry).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
