These simpli cations were carried out by Monte Carlo simulations, using the MCNPX 2.7.0 code. The different sources were compared through a distribution of energy deposition in a water phantom. Our results indicated that small simpli cations will present no in uence on the source response, and the removal of the entire capsule surrounding the radionuclide will present a difference of just 0.53% in the nal response.1-5openAccessbrachytherapyiridium 192monte carlo methodm codesenergy absorptionenergy lossesphantomswaterradiation dosesdose ratesdosimetryArtigo de periódico73310.1088/1742-6596/733/1/012092https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7362-2455
