Abstract:
Interstitial implants for brain tumours with removable iridium-192 radioactive seeds have been performed using a Brown-Roberts-Wells stereotactic frame. A simple and accurate computed-tomography-guided dosimetry pre-planning technique and procedure prior to implant have been developed and are discussed.
