Abstract

The use of computer for dosimetry calculations in interstitial and intracavitary radiotherapy is reviewed, with a summary of features of twenty computer programs which have been reported in the literature. A discussion of the history of manual calculations and their relationship to computer calculations is included, with comments on the impact of computers in this area of medical physics.
