Major sections of the Report include:

1. Introduction

2. Definition of Terms and Concepts

3. Recommendations for Recording and Reporting

4. Practical Applications of Recommendations

Appendicies treat quantities and units, interstitial brachytherapy sources, determination of source parameters, verification of source strength and practical examples.
