TI  - Intravascular brachytherapy physics: report of the AAPM Radiation Therapy 
      Committee Task Group no. 60. American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
PG  - 119-52
AB  - Recent preclinical and clinical studies indicate that irradiation using ionizing 
      radiation in the dose range of 15 to 30 Gy may reduce the occurrence of 
      restenosis in patients who have undergone an angioplasty. Several delivery 
      systems of intravascular brachytherapy have been developed to deliver radiation 
      doses in this range with minimal normal tissue toxicity. In late 1995 the 
      American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) formed a task group to 
      investigate these issues and to report the current state of the art of 
      intravascular brachytherapy physics. The report of this task group is presented 
      here.
