Description

An algorithm for the dosimetric planning of intracavitary multiposition irradiation of corpus uteri cancer patients is proposed making use of some elements of the inverse problem solution and permitting one to calculate without computer. The algorithm is used for irradiation planning for the Soviet ANET-B unit with 252Cf sources. Conditions for the inverse problem solution applied to the dosimetric planning of intracavitary multiposition irradiation in case of the use of two dosing points have been formulated. The algorithm makes it possible to calculate a biologically isoeffective dose of mixed γ-neutron 252Cf radiation
