    J Appl Clin Med Phys 6:12-8. 2005
    ..These large systematic errors were caused by using the tissue maximum ratio (TMR) in BrainSCAN v5.21 without considering increased field size as depth increased. These errors have been reported to BrainLAB...

    Med Phys 31:3372-7. 2004
    ..The dose rate of a Leipzig applicator with 30 mm opening at reference point is 0.241+/-3% cGy h(-1) U(-1). The MC calculated depth dose rates and profiles were tabulated for clinic use...
