[Optimization of the operating modes for short-focus x-ray therapy]

Basing on experimentally measured energetic radiation spectra of the RUM-7 x-ray unit, absorbed dose distributions in the homogeneous tissue equivalent medium were calculated. An approach to the optimization of the x-ray procedure on the basis of the incident radiation spectrum was proposed. Integral absorbed doses in a pathological focus and in the healthy tissues are used as benefit-damage indicators.
