Monte Carlo evaluation of the dose sparing and dose enhancement by combination of Gd-infused tumor and 241 Am source for an endocavitary brachytherapy geometry

In this work, the benefits in terms of dose enhancement and dose sparing via radiation shielding are evaluated, for a combined irradiation scheme with sources of Am and tumor-infused with Gd agents, regarding conventional Ir treatment. Monte Carlo simulations using PENELOPE code were implemented for...
