Technique and dosimetry of total body irradiations at Ulm. 1986

P Blank, and W Weidenmaier, and E Schneider, and E M Röttinger

At the University of Ulm total body irradiation before bone marrow transplantation is given in nine fractions within three days. A total dose of 13 Gy is applied via four fields with 8-MV X-rays. Dose to the lung is limited to 10.5 Gy by means of individually shaped blocks. The homogeneity of dose distributions is improved by the use of compensators for the lower extremities and boli in the head and neck region. Dosimetric data for treatment planning are measured by an ionization chamber and thermoluminescence dosimeters in water and perspex phantoms. In vivo measurements of dose distributions (ionization chamber, TLD) during each fraction allow modifications of compensators and boli in the case of deviations from calculated data.

D011882 Radiotherapy, High-Energy Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.

D013819 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry The use of a device composed of thermoluminescent material for measuring exposure to IONIZING RADIATION. The thermoluminescent material emits light when heated. The amount of light emitted is proportional to the amount of ionizing radiation to which the material has been exposed. Dosimetries, Thermoluminescent,Dosimetry, Thermoluminescent,Thermoluminescent Dosimetries
D014916 Whole-Body Irradiation Irradiation of the whole body with ionizing or non-ionizing radiation. It is applicable to humans or animals but not to microorganisms.
