    A new X-ray system simplifies gynecological brachytherapy planning. Performing afterloading irradiation with legs extended ensures accurate dose distribution when combined with teletherapy.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical physics
    • Radiotherapy
    • Gynecological oncology

    Context:

    • Afterloading therapy requires precise treatment planning for optimal outcomes.
    • Traditional methods may not account for patient positioning changes during treatment.
    • Integrating imaging with treatment delivery is crucial for complex procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To develop and evaluate a specialized X-ray system for gynecological brachytherapy.
    • To assess the impact of patient positioning on dose distribution calculations.
    • To enable accurate, combined dose planning for teletherapy and afterloading.

    Summary:

    • A novel combination of an X-ray multiplier and gynecological table was developed for afterloading therapy.
    • Constant magnification radiography facilitated easier topometric examinations.

  • Patient repositioning from lithotomy to extended legs revealed significant point displacement, necessitating treatment in the extended position.

    • Impact:

    • This approach allows for accurate calculation of common dose distribution for both teletherapy and afterloading.
    • Improved treatment planning enhances radiation delivery precision in gynecological brachytherapy.
    • Facilitates more effective and potentially safer cancer treatment through integrated planning.
