METHOD FOR INTRA-OPERATIONAL DOSIMETRY Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with measuring radioactivity in alive organisms and could be applied for detecting really absorbed dosage under conditions of intra-operational impact. The method suggested includes detecting clinical volume for the target of radiation impact including the volume of healthy tissues to be subjected for radiation impact, developing the plan of radiation impact based upon data obtained with the help of tissue-equivalent phantoms, location in interest sites of clinical volume of sterilized separate fragments of dosimetric device being the matrix of functional units and designed as thermoluminescent detectors being hermetically isolated at the distance of 10 mm between their edges and fixed between the layers of flexible biocompatible material, registering the location of detectors, performing the séance for intra-operational radiation therapy followed by removing the fragments of dosimetric device out of target's volume. Information should be read from thermoluminescent detectors.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of measuring.
