Health Physics Society Journal

Health Physics Journal,
Vol. 79, No. 2, August 2000

On the cover: An oncologist, assisted by a medical physicist, is loading a radioactive source (¹⁹²Ir) during a gamma endovascular brachytherapy procedure. A study was undertaken to determine occupational exposure received during these procedures. See article by S. Balter et al. on page 136
