The Paris system in interstitial radiation therapy
- 1. Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, 94 - Creteil (France)
Description
As a result of almost 20 years' experience using 192Ir wires in interstitial radiation therapy, a new method of dose calculation has been evolved, which is especially suitable for the techniques employed. Because this system was developed and brought into routine use in Paris, it was called the Paris System. Its basic principles are outlined in this report and the manner in which it is used in clinical practise is explained. (Auth.)
