Description
Thermoluminescence and p-type semiconductor detectors were used for localization of the source in intracavitary (modified Stockholm method) treatment. The results were compared with X-ray films, and especially good agreement was obtained if the detectors were positioned on both sides of the patients. The measurements performed on Stage III to IV carcinoma cervix uteri patients indicate that the intracavitary source can deviate to both sides with equal probability. The magnitude of the deviation is described by a Gaussian distribution with an expected value of zero and S.D. of 8 mm. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Thermolumineszenz- und P-Halbleiterdetektoren wurden fuer die Lokalisierung der Quelle bei der intrakavitaeren Strahlentherapie (modifizierte Stockholm-Methode) verwendet. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit Roentgenfilmen verglichen. Bei einer Plazierung der Detektoren auf beiden Seiten der Patienten war die Uebereinstimmung besonders gut. Die Messergebnisse bei Zervixkarzinomen der Stadien III und IV zeigen, dass die Position der intrakavitaeren Quellen mit gleicher Wahrscheinlichkeit nach beiden Seiten abweichen kann. Die Staerke der Abweichung wird durch eine Gauss-Verteilung mit einem erwarteten Wert Null und einer Standardabweichung von 8 mm dargestellt. (orig.)Additional details
