Description
The possibility is investigated to use shielded vaginal applicators for linear 192Ir sources to irradiate cervical carcinoma. Using segment-shaped absorbers of heavy metal the dose can be reduced in ventro-dorsal direction in the area of rectum and bladder with irradiation of cervical carcinoma up to a factor of 2 in dependence on rectum and bladder position. Selecting a suitable source position and source standing time a dose reduction can be realized in cranial direction up to two centimetres from the portio. (author)
