APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC RECORDING OF STATIONARY FIELD ISODOSES (in German)

Journal Article · · Fortschr. Gebiete Rontgenstrahlen u. Nuklearmed.
To plot isodose curves in a tissue-equivalent phantom is a time consuming operation. This is particularly disturbing in practical work when the working out of an individual dosage is required which takes into account the particular anatomical conditions of the individual patient. An apparatus has, therefore, been constructed which autoraatically registers the dose distribution in any plane section through the isodose volume corresponding to a paaticular field. A description is presented of the technical conditions that raust be fulfilled by such a measuring apparatus in order to meet the requirements of radintion therapy. An account is given of the construction of the device and of the way in which measurements are carried out. Some examples illustrate the operation of the instrument. The apparatus can be used not only in deep-ray therapy but to record the dose for any field of irradiation for which the dose is constant over the time of the measurement. (auth)
