Description

A computerized system PLUT-B intended for a dosimetric design of stereotaxic neutron brachyterhapy of brain tumors, was developed. It is capable of simulating dose distribution in various parameters of irradiation, manipulating them, retaining the surgical aspects within the field of vision, and arriving at an acceptable dosimetric plan. It is intended to be used by a physician, convenient in operation, the time at the design stage is 35-40 minutes
