Correlation of treatment volume with milligram-hours for intracavitary applications for carcinoma of the cervix.
Following the recommendations of the European Curietherapy Group, the three-dimensional dose distribution corresponding to various milligram-hour volumes has been analyzed according to its length, width, and height dimensions. Thus, it is possible to state the dimensions of a number of isodose surfaces for a dose prescription given in milligram-hours. Problems associated with the exact placement of the three-dimensional dose distribution in relation to the patient's anatomy are discussed.
