“…The pattern of implant placement was dependent on the size and shape of the tumour and the surrounding structures. Computer-assisted dosimetry calculations (Neblett andothers 1978, Kwan andothers 1983), formulated by the medical physics department at the Adenbrooke's Hospital, were used to plan exact isodose curves and calculate the spacing between the wires. The planned total radiation dose was 50 to 60 Gy for each of the lesions, to be given at a rate of 10 Gy per day, corresponding to a 'low-dose radiation' (LDR) protocol.…”

Treatment of the equine sarcoid has posed a significant challenge to clinicians for years and many different methods have been tried with varying success, including ionising radiation. The aim of this study was to review the efficacy of iridium-192 interstitial brachytherapy for the treatment of eight periocular sarcoids and 15 non-ocular sarcoids on 18 horses. All the periocular sarcoids and 13 of the 15 non-ocular sarcoids were treated successfully.

Continuous low‐dose‐rate irradiation of animal tumors has become feasible through the implantation of iridium‐192 by an afterloading technique. 192Ir is an ideal radioisotope for interstitial brachytherapy in veterinary medicine because of its 74.2‐day half‐life, medium‐energy gamma radiation (0.35 MeV), moderate shielding requirements, low cost, and adaptability to most tumor configurations. The afterloading technique can easily be applied to veterinary patients. The effectiveness of interstitial brachytherapy may be enhanced by combination with surgery and/or hyperthermia. Computer‐assisted dose calculations make afterloaded 192Ir implantation an accurate, precise method of interstitial brachytherapy.
