CLRP TG43v2 low-energy seeds
This repository contains geometry model files for 40 low-energy brachytherapy seeds described and benchmarked in the CLRP TG-43 dosimetry parameter database. The models are to be used with the open source Monte Carlo code egs_brachy which is an EGSnrc application available at https://github.com/clrp-code/egs_brachy.
The CLRP-TG43v2 database is hosted at a Carleton University website (https://physics.carleton.ca/clrp/egs_brachy/seed_database_v2) with DOI doi.org/10.22215/clrp/tg43v2
