Abstract
In brachytherapy of uterine cervical cancer using the high dose rate remote afterloading system, it is of prime importance to determine the position of the radiation sources and to estimate the irradiation time. However, calculation with manual method is so time consuming and laborious, that authors designed a software as an aid to intracavitary radiotherapy Planning using the personal computer to obtain the precision of treatment without being too complicated for routine use. Optimal source arrangement in combination with dose rate at each specific points and irradiation time can be easily determined using this software in several minutes.
고선량율을 이용한 자궁강내 치료시 정확하고 신속한 계산을 위하여 저자들은 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 기준점의 선량분포 및 방사선조사 시간을 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 software를 개발하였다. 치료 계획용 software를 이용하여 짧은 시간내에 선량 분포 및 조사시간을 용이하고 정확하게 계산할 수 있으며, 고선량을 자궁경부암 임상적응에 효과적으로 이용할 수 있어서 보고한다.
