Dosimetric substrantiation of the joining of fields of complex shape in total irradiation of the lymphatic collectors

The paper is concerned with the results of experimental dosimetric studies on an anthropomorphous phantom using thermoluminiscent dosimetry at the site of the site of the joining of large fields of complex shape simulating total irradiation of the lymphatic collectors. The studies demonstrated the appropriateness of the joining at a distance of 1 cm between the fields. In such a variant adequate irradiation of the lymphatic system was achieved whereas an increase in a distance between the fields resulted in a risk of recurrence in underirradiated areas without a significant decrease in radiation dose exposure to healthy organs and tissues
