Abstract
The GEANT4 is a C++ computational tool that samples from known probability distributions to determine the average behavior of a system. It is used in brachytherapy to improve our understanding of the production, transport and the ultimate fate of therapeutic radiation. Here we present the effect of the voxelization and the number of events on the dose distribution. We calculate the dose distribution of GammaMedplus HDR192Ir in a water phantom and compare it with the measured dose by Gafchromic film EBT2. Our Monte Carlo results are validated by a comparison with dose data measured.
