Abstract
Brachytherapy dose distribution calculation has evolved from the simple use of charts to the TG-43 formalism. It depends on the physical and geometrical characteristics of each source, the position of the source relatively to the calculation point and on the medium composition. Its principles and limitations are presented as well as the different dosimetric systems associated with implementing rules and the definition of the prescribed dose. The new generation of algorithms and their contributions are discussed.Mesh：
