Smaller diameter brachytherapy seeds for permanent interstitial implantation allow for use of smaller diameter implant needles. The use of smaller diameter needles may provide a lower incidence of healthy-tissue complications. This study determines the brachytherapy dosimetry parameters for the smaller diameter source (model 9011) and comments on the dosimetric comparison between this new source and the conventional brachytherapy seed (model 6711).
用于永久性组织间植入的较小直径近距离放射治疗籽源允许使用较小直径的植入针。使用较小直径的针可能会降低健康组织并发症的发生率。本研究确定了较小直径源（9011型）的近距离放射治疗剂量学参数，并对这种新源与传统近距离放射治疗籽源（6711型）之间的剂量学比较进行了评论。
