title: A computer program for I-125 seed implant.
abstract: A computer program, written in FORTRAN, for I-125 permanent interstitial implants has been developed. After implantation, isocentric radiographs are taken using radiotherapy simulator (Siemens) in order to obtain two X-ray images of seeds on the same film. Honeywell DPS8 computer and Hewlett-Packard 7221A plotter are used for the dose calculation. The program calculates the dose distribution at the plane desired using 100 X 100 matrix.
