초록
I. 목적 외부방사선 치료와 같이 근접치료 시에도 재현성을 평가하기 위해 bone의 위치와 tandem, ovoid 간의 거리를 측정하여 치료 setting의 재현성을 평가함으로써 자궁경부암 환자의 근접치료시 치료의 재현성을 평가하고자 하였다. II. 대상 및 방법 1999년부터 2001년 10월까지 본원을 내원해서 근접치료를 시행한 자궁경부암 환자중 tandem, ovoid을 사용한 52명을 대상으로 근접치료시 촬영한 film(환자1명당 3회촬영)을 가지고 측정하였다. Os을 기준으로 환자의 center축을 잡고 tandem, ovoid의 위치와 pubic symphysis, sacrum, coccyx등과의 거리를 각각 측정하여 치료 setting의 재현성을 평가하였다. III. 결과 환자 52명에 대한 tandem, ovoid의 위치와 pubic symphysis, sacrum, coccyx등과의 거리에 대한 표준 편차 결과는 다음과 같은 분포로 나타났다. 1) 각 tandem angle 의 표준편차는
I. Purpose Brachytherapy is the main component in treatment of patients with uterine cervical cancer. The reproducibility of applicator position in the same patient at repeated treatments was very important for accurate dose delivery. It was aimed to evaluate the change of applicator location between each high dose rate(HDR) brachytherapy insertion in the patients with uterine cervical cancer. II. Materials and Methods From January 1999 to October 2001, total 52 patients were treated with external beam radiotherapy and HDR brachytherapy (Microselectron, Nucletron). During six to seven times of brachytherapy, all patients had three treatment plans. From the orthogonal radiographs, we measured the following variables; height from upper border of pubic bone to os (HPO), distance from sacral promontory to tip of tandem (DST), distance from coccyx to os (DCO), distance from tip of right ovoid to os (DRO), distance from tip of left ovoid to os (DLO), and distance from center of the first tandem source to ovoid (DTO). To evaluate the reproducibility of applicator position, it was calculated the standard deviation of differences between three insertions for the 7 parameters in each patient. III. Results The ranges of standard deviations of interfractional differences for the variables were as follows. 1)HPO :
