Page Background

• Accurate interpolation of dose distribution is achieved because geometric

dependence of dose falloff (as function of

r

and

θ

) is accounted for. This

allows use of a limited dataset while providing robust dose calculation.

• Analytic, uniform approach to brachytherapy dose calculation is readily

available, thereby promoting consistent clinical practice worldwide.
