title: [Three dimensional optimization method for the interstitional afterloading therapy (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors present a new method for the interstitial therapy working with an Ir-192 source which is displaced step by step. After having been fed with the tumor parameters, the computer calculates for every stopping point the duration of stay of the source which provides a threedimensional optimization. The practical application of the method is discussed and the optimization procedure is compared with other similar methods.
