Abstract
An empirical method for verifying the total treatment time for either a one- or a two-catheter high-dose-rate procedure has been developed. The method can be performed quickly and allows for easy verification o f the accuracy of the treatment time arrived at by a computerized plan ning system. The method is designed to confirm the treatment time to w ithin 10%. (C) 1996 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
