Objective To explore the relationship between the peripheral dose and radioactive counts of 125I seeds detected by SPECT/CT.Methods Six 125I seeds(1.48×107 Bq, 1.85×107 Bq, 2.22×107 Bq, 2.59×107 Bq, 2.96×107 Bq, 3.33×107 Bq) were put into the solid water phantoms respectively. SPECT/CT was applied to scan the seeds. The radioactive counts (x) at the distance of 1-15 mm from the center of seeds were recorded respectively, while the corresponding doses (y, cGy) were calculated. SPSS 18.0 was used to analyze the relationship between the radioactive counts and peripheral dose. Results There was an exponential relationship between the peripheral dose of 125I seeds and the radioactive counts. The formula was as follow: y=507.849×1.004x. Conclusion SPECT/CT can visualize the peripheral dose of 125I seed, which may provide a method for dosimetric verification after brachytherapy.

Objective:
To study the feasibility of using the PTW729 2D array ion-chamber to verify the relative dose distribution calculated with the Acuros BV algorithm. Both advantages and disadvantages of the method were analyzed to provide reference for practical clinical practices.
Methods:
Based on self-built measurement phantoms, the dose distribution on the same slice of the phantom was measured with PTW729 and film, respectively, under the same measurement condition and plan.

Objective To study the dosimetric effect of two source patterns, including equal spacing and peripheral dense intermediate sparse by assuming a tumor shrinking speed of 20%per month after 125 I seed implantation. Methods A virtual cylindrical tumor with 4 cm in height and 5 cm in diameter was contoured on a three-dimensional treatment planning system ( TPS ) . Two groups of preoperative plans were made with 1. 85 × 107 Bq 125 I seeds using two source patterns respectively. It was assumed that the tumor height was unchanged, while the diameter of tumor would decrease at a speed of 20%per month, and the locations of seeds would concentrate towards the tumor core. The 90%target volume dose ( D90 ) , the ratio of 90%isodose volume over the target volume ( V90 ) , and the ratio of 150%isodose volume over the target volume (V150) were calculated at 0, 1, 2, 3 months after 125I implantation respectively. Results In equal spacing group, 85 seeds were implanted. The values of D90 were 126. 20, 130. 41, 133. 82 and 139. 48 Gy after 0, 1, 2 and 3 months respectively. The values of V90 were 97. 0%, 98. 1%, 99. 3%and 100%, while those of V150 were 70. 2%, 69. 9%, 71. 1% and 71. 5%. The dense in-periphery and sparse-in the middle group was loaded with 75 seeds. The D90 values were 126. 46, 125. 41, 123. 50 and 128. 83 Gy, the V9095. 2%, 95. 7%, 94. 9%and 97. 6%, and the V15052. 8%, 60. 4%, 62. 7%and 59. 3%after 0, 1, 2 and 3 months, respectiviely. Conclusions When the tumor diameter reduces at a rate of 20%per month after 125 I seed implantation, the expected tumor dose absorption will gradually increase using the equal spacing sources pattern. However, the expected dose does not vary withsource distribution of dense-in the-surrounding and sparse-in-middle, which also reduces high dose volume more than the equal spacing pattern.

As a standard method for early stage prostate cancer, 125Ⅰ seed implantations are used widely in America. Although there are guidelines from American Brachytherapy Society and American Association of Physicists in Medicine, some hospitals still cannot implant the seeds properly according to the guidelines. Complications were observed inevitably. The medical events about seeds implantation in America from 2002 were investigated and the reasons were analyzed in this paper. Additionally, some solutions were given to avoid the medical events, so that the practitioners in China can learn from it and make sure the 125Ⅰ seeds implantation can be developed healthily and smoothly.
