Abstract

The absorbed doses in the reference points of the rectum and bladder defined by ICRU report 38 for reporting intracavitary radiotherapy were compared with the calculated maximum doses of these organs. The calculations were validated by a thermoluminescent probe. A good correlation between the doses at the reference points and the calculated maximum doses was found.
