brachytherapy term for prostate carcinoma

I'm doing a report on a patient being treated for prostate carcinoma, and a ProSeed implant is being done.  The doctor says "needle positioning and total needed calculated dose ______zation were all determined by the radiation oncologist and the physicist and are contained in their separate dictation."

I've been googling in an effort to figure this out, and I tried to find the word by doing a wildcard search on my Rad/Onc electronic reference, but I'm not coming up with it.  It almost sounds as if the word begins with an 'f' or 'ph.'.

• brachytherapy term for prostate carcinoma - OpMT

  • ionization? - nm
  • just a guess - for optimization? - annabanana

    • I considered that...but I don't think that is what he is saying. - OpMT
