A computer program has been developed to aid in the brachytherapy of cancer of the cervix. Using a least-squares minimization algorithm, the program will optimize the source loading in intracavitary applicators so as to reproduce, as nearly as physical considerations allow, the dose distribution requested by the user. Applicator geometry and the relative positions of anatomical points of interest must be supplied to the program, as well as an inventory of available source strengths. Output from the computer includes the optimized source loading, time of application, and the resulting relative doses to the various user-selected points of interest.
