Tongue implants: discussion of some dose-time-volume parameters and afterloading techniques. 1978

J M Burgers

Detailed computerized calculations of 28 radium tongue implants permit the conclusion that dose-time adjustment especially when geometry is poor, increases the chance of recurrence. The overdosage volume in the vicinity of the needles could be calculated and is small. Because of greater adaptability of afterloading iridium techniques and better results according to others, our patients are now treated with a combination of external beam treatment and iridium implant.

D011883 Radium A radioactive element of the alkaline earth series of metals. It has the atomic symbol Ra and atomic number 88. Radium is the product of the disintegration of URANIUM and is present in pitchblende and all ores containing uranium. It is used clinically as a source of beta and gamma-rays in radiotherapy, particularly BRACHYTHERAPY.
D002294 Carcinoma, Squamous Cell A carcinoma derived from stratified SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL CELLS. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present.
