Description

An in vivo measuring method is introduced from mending the calculated lying time of implants corresponding to the given dose (reference dose) in the interstitial brachytherapy with iridium-192 seeds. The small effort for using this method and the relatively easy way of handling it allow its clinical use for quality assurance in brachytherapy. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es wird eine In-vivo-Messmethode vorgestellt, mit der in der interstitiellen Brachytherapie mit Iridium-192-Seeds die berechnete Liegedauer der Implantate entsprechend der Vorgabe der verordneten Dosis (Referenzdosis) korrigiert werden kann. Der geringe Aufwand und die relativ einfache Handhabung dieser Methode erlauben den routinemaessigen klinischen Einsatz zur Qualitaetssicherung in der Brachytherapie. (orig.)
