THE M. D. ANDERSON METHOD FOR THE COMPUTATION OF ISODOSE CURVES AROUND INTERSTITIAL AND INTRACAVITARY RADIATION SOURCES

Abstract
A digital computer program has been developed to calculate dose distributions around interstitial and intracavitary radiation sources and the method has been in routine use for more than 3 years at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute at Houston. The features of the program and its clinical application are considered, in addition to the relationship between computer dosimetry and the Paterson-Parker system.
