Medical Interest

The technology of direct dosimetry was examined during a session of automated high-power interstitial gamma therapy for prostate cancer with a source of iridium-192 using a MKD-04 scintillation multi-detector dosimeter developed at the JSC ROSATOM. Miniature detectors of up to 5 pieces allow simultaneous measurements in areas of medical interest - the urethra and the rectum at different distances from the intrastats. The technology of direct dosimetry with rigid fixation of detectors is aimed at increasing quality assurance and reducing the frequency of complications. The dosimeter MKD-04 can be used for all types of automated brachytherapy, as well as in bundles of gamma-therapeutic devices to monitor the dose prescribed and actually received by the patient.

Treatment Techniques

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Advance treatment techniques, such as IMRT and dynamic conformal arc delivery, are novel radiation treatment procedures at the forefront of accurate and precise radiotherapy. However, the risk of suboptimal treatment resulting in injury is far greater with these techniques due to their complexity. An in vivo quality assurance system is the most appropriate validation of the delivered dose to the patient from these techniques. The intent of this research is to propose an in vivo dosimetry quality assurance procedure using radiochromic film. This research proved that radiochromic in vivo dosimetry is a viable method of detecting spatial patient specific errors in radiotherapy; however, the process is time consuming and not sensitive enough for dosimetric errors associated with weight change. Although time consuming, in vivo radiochromic dosimetry is an attractive alternative for small cancer centers and developing countries without the large startup capital to acquire the electronic portal imaging device necessary for EPID in vivo dosimetry.
