Abstract
The dose delivered to the anus using high-dose-rate brachytherapy with Ir-192 sources is quite low. There is a contribution to the anal radiation dose during the transport of the Ir-192 source into the needles. However, in clinical practice when using 15-20 needles, the dose from transporting the Ir-192 source can be ignored.
