[Computerized dosimetry in curie therapy]

Automatic treatment planning for calculation of absorbed dose in curietherapy has been performed at the Istituto Nazionale Tumori of Milano on a routine for some years. The radioactive implant is reconstructed from orthogonal or stereo-roentgenograms, a tabular listing of doses or dose rates can be obtained on the grid of points and the isodose curves are automatically drawn with the projection of sources onto the selected planes of calculation by an interactive plotter.
