title: Clinical and dosimetric considerations in the radiation treatment of breast cancer.
abstract: Preliminary results indicate that film dosimetry is a simple and precise method of determining volume dose distributions. Calculated dose distributions using computers or estimations of surface dose using TLD dosimeters are within 5% of the measured dose. Initial attempts to find suitable alternate techniques tailored to each clinical situation are encouraging.
