Equipment for Radioisotope Teletherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In external-beam therapy (or teletherapy), a radiation beam coming from a source located at a distance from the patient is directed toward the patient. The source of the radiation emitted is enclosed in a heavily shielded source head. The prefix ”tele“ (meaning far or distant) in teletherapy (in contrast to the prefix brachy, meaning near or short, in ...

[Determination of the field length in planning radioisotope teletherapy].

Meditsinskaia radiologiia, 1988
The authors present a method for the determination of irradiation field length in the planning of gamma-beam therapy based on the use of decrement lines and decrement surfaces for describing dose distributions. For a case of rotation and static multifield irradiation from open fields when central beam rays lie in the same plane and are crossed at the ...
