Cobalt-60 is a well-established and clinically proven isotope for all HDR brachytherapy treatments.
Co-60 has achieved tremendous success and has continued to evolve to support modern HDR brachytherapy needs. The Co-60 source is not only clinically proven but also physically well understood and comprehensively analyzed.
Treatment with Co-60 ensures that organs at risk (OAR) are exposed to a lower dose than with Ir-192.
