Plaque Simulator includes predefined 3D models of these plaques.

The Custom... item opens a dialog in which one can create a new design of BEBIG-style plaque for research purposes.

A thin film of Ru-106 is encapsulated within a sheet of pure silver (Ag 99.99), with a total thickness of 1 mm. The plaques are hemispherically shaped with a radius of 12-14 mm. The applicator's surface is polished metal. The plaques have rounded edges, a homogeneous lead seam and eyelets for suturing to the sclera.

The window on the concave side is 0.1 mm thick. The rear surface absorbs approximately 95% of the beta radiation. The nominal surface dose rate in the center of the applicators concave side is 720 cGy/hr. The actual surface dose rate and other calibration data are provided on a certificate which comes with the applicator.

Inactive dummies made from silvered copper or PMMA are available for all types of applicators.

PS also includes example .iplq files with embedded pictures for many of the BEBIG plaques. Click to enlarge.
