• 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.
