Table 2.

Dose conversion factors (ratios of total reference air kerma per seed) for various prescription depths (1–10 mm in 1 mm intervals) for 125I (model IAI‐125A) standard Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) plaques, notched COMS plaques with one seed removed (Case #1) and notched COMS plaques with two seeds removed (Case #2). The data were normalized to those for a prescription depth of 5 mm
