Abstract
The possibility of adjusting the irradiation scheme to shape the isodose curve around an intracavitary source arrangement was studied mathematically. The total number of mCi h of irradiation for each source position was derived by a linear programming approach, taking into account the shape of the tumor in 3 cases. The practical isodose curves obtainable with the source arrangement chosen were compared with the shape desired.
