Utilization of the computed tomography scanner in interstitial dosimetry. 1980

A Herskovic, and S Lee, and T Padikal

A method is described by which the isodose distribution of interstitial implants can be superimposed on the image of a computed tomography (CT) scan. This technique decreases the uncertainty about the delivered dose, and thus enhances clinical judgment. CT scans of implants in the head and neck area, cervix, vagina, rectum, and urethra are regularly obtained.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
