[Quality assurance of brachytherapy by means of interactive computer-assisted planning of the dose distribution using visual optimization (author's transl)].
Not earlier than with present generation of afterloading apparatuses,--efficient, reliable and appropriate for many purposes,--it was possible in brachytherapy to give up the previous impractical application techniques. Brachytherapy thus has found the widespread use it merits because of its good results. Additional utilization of a computer for the planning of dose distributions will guarantee the quality possible now in brachytherapy. To that end, a method of computer-assisted planning is described. It can be used for different application techniques. Further improvement of the results obtained till now is discussed in detail.
