Dose point -kernel computational methods in brachytherapy following coronary angioplasty

Recent preclinical and clinical research indicate that irradiation using ionizing radiation in the dose range of 15~30 Gy may reduce the occurrence of restenosis in patients who have undergone an angioplasty. Several dose point-kernel computational methods have been developed to estimate dose distribution of coronary vascular and peripheral tis-sue,The review present importance dose point-kernel in the iterafure in late year.
