Abstract:
A procedure for estimating the rectal dose-rate in patients treated by a Selectron remote-afterloading machine is described. This entails dose-rate measurements using low-activity test sources whilst the patient is still in theatre. The standard applicators were modified to enable the rectal dose to be reduced.
