Abstract We have presented a method which enables the radiotherapoist to achieve homogenization of dosage In relation to an arbitary reference plane in the body of the patient. within a mantle field. The irrigularly shaped body surface of the patient and tissue inhomogeneities are taken into account by this method. In addition the required compensator can be conceived by the broad beam will receive a dosage different from that applied to the rest of the field. It can thus intentionallY produce inhomogeneities of irradiation. This makes it possible to take a very individual account of the disease parameters of a patient. Besides irradiation of a patient with Hodgkin’s disease, the technique described her is suitable, among other things, for the treatment of tumors in the region of the head an neck, and for the breast preserving treatment of crcinoma of the breast. So, the advantages of the kiel compensating System can be summed UP as follows. |
