Abstract

In order to employ the “Gamma-Med” apparatus for interstitial radiotherapy of brain tumours, it is primarily necessary to know with maximum accuracy the pattern of the absorbed dose distribution around the source, in the so called “target volume” and also the values of the absorbed dose in the neighbouring tissues and organs, with special regard to the more radiosensitive ones.
