title: [Dosimetry problems in irradiation of mediastinal tumours (author's transl)].
abstract: Various physical parameters are described for evaluation of the quality of the irradiation plane. Of these, the integral dose and the dose gradient index are regarded as particularly significant and their calculation is included in a computerised dosimetry programme. Examples are drawn from the comparison of various mediastinum irradiation techniques: 60Co, high energy X-rays, fast electrons.
