Abstract
The 106Ru/106Rh COB-type plaque has a cut-out section that makes it suitable to be used in eye brachytherapy to treat tumours close to the optical nerve. Nevertheless, this asymmetry makes measurements and calculations of dose rates around this kind of beta applicator more difficult to perform. In this work we present a analytical and numerical method to evaluate the relative dose rates along the central axis of the COB-type plaque and a comparison is made with a result found in literature obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulation.
