It was determined during a post-surgical CT that the tumor may have been underdosed and a follow-up MRI was performed. As a result of the MRI, it was discovered, on February 21, 2013, that the dose received for the brachytherapy was 70 percent of the written directive. The licensee will submit a written report to the Virginia Radiation Materials Program." A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials.
