METHOD FOR PRE-IRRADIATION PREPARATION AND IRRADIATION AND TREATMENT-DIAGNOSTICS TABLE FOR USE WITH THE METHOD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61N5/10 G21K5/10 

FIELD: methods and devices for treatment of oncology patients using sources of ionizing radiation, namely, technology of pre-irradiation preparation and irradiation during intracavitary and interstitial radiotherapy.

SUBSTANCE: method for pre-irradiation preparation and irradiation includes positioning the patient on treatment-diagnostics table, inserting into cavity to be irradiated of hollow applicators with imitators of ionizing radiation sources, controlling position thereof relatively to target being irradiated with usage of x-ray television device, building of dosimetric plane and irradiation, while applicators inserted into cavity being irradiated are connected to treatment-diagnostics table, x-ray radiography is performed with output of image onto monitor of viewing station of x-ray television device, image via the interface is transported into planning system, dosimetric plane of irradiation is computed, which is then exported into system for controlling device and irradiation procedure is performed. Treatment-diagnostics table has frame, two supporting posts with overhung table top mounted on them, consisting of a pelvic-dorsal and two extending leg sections, connected to pelvic-dorsal section by means of twin joints. For connection of applicator table is provided with mounting pillar.

EFFECT: possible irradiation directly near apparatus without moving the patient during x-ray control of position of applicators and, therefore, increased quality of radiotherapy and therapeutic efficiency, decreased duration of pre-irradiation preparation.
