Introduction. Brachytherapy example simulates energy deposition on a voxel grid for a MicroSelectron Ir-192 HDR brachytherapy source. 1. Technical description 1.0. MicroSelectron HDR Ir-192 source is constructed in the brachyDetectorConstruction class. The source is composed by an iridium core encapsulated in a stainless steel capsule (body + tip). The source is put into a 30*cm water box. 1.1. The water box is made sensitive detector. A longitudinal slice of it is associated to a planar read out geometry. At every hit energy deposition is read and stored into a voxel matrix. 1.2. Voxel matrix is output to an ASCII file for further processing (e.g. anysotropy and isodose calculations). 2. Make A standard Geant4 example GNUmakefile is provided. 2. Usage Simply run "Brachy" executable. The ASCII "Brachy.out" file is produced.
