Dosimetric Planning of Interstitial Brachytherapy for Head and Neck Tumor

Abstract

Dosimetric calculations of radiation pin sources 252Cf were carried out; in order to evaluate the effect of treatment the final data was analyzed. As a result of the study calculated values of the duration of exposure and absorbed dose were analyzed; the correspondence between the presence of radiation reactions, and causes their manifestations and sources layout were observed; selected sources layouts with a definite diagnosis was compared, under which they were applied.
