METHOD FOR PRE-RADIAL PREPARATION AND IRRADIATION AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61N5/10 A61B6/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method for pre-radial preparation and irradiation in contact radiation therapy, consisting in patient placing on medical-diagnostic table, introduction into irradiated cavity of hollow applicators fixed on tripod, monitoring their position relative to the anatomical structures using a diagnostic apparatus selected from one of the X-ray apparatus with a C-arm, CT or MRI, exporting the obtained information to a dosimetry planning system for drawing up a radiation dosimetry plan, guide tube applicators are connected to the applicators to supply the radiation source, and an irradiation plan exported from the dosimetry planning system is implemented. At that, on the diagnostic table, a removable tabletop-top box is placed, equipped with wheels with brakes and a sliding panel for the patient's legs, support of which is made with six degrees of freedom for movement and fixation of applicators introduced into the irradiated cavity. Patient's legs are lowered on foot panel. Thereafter, the tabletop attachment with the patient is moved to the diagnostic installation table and after receiving information on the position of applicators relative to anatomical structures, the table top-attachment with the patient on the therapeutic-diagnostic table is moved to the radiation therapy room to implement the radiation plan. Diagnostic table for pre-radial preparation and radiation, comprising detachable tabletop attachment, having wheels with brakes for movement on medical-diagnostic table, flat spring-loaded roller, made with possibility of tabletop-attachment orientation relative to axial line of diagnostic installation table, support with six degrees of freedom for movement and fixation of applicators introduced into irradiated cavity, including horizontal bar made with possibility of moving left and right relative to tabletop-attachment in guide, fixed on end of tabletop-attachment, and fixing position of horizontal bar by retainer, vertical rail guide is attached perpendicularly to end of horizontal rod, equipped with retainer, wherein the vertical bar is configured to move up and down and fix it in the vertical bar guide, and also has forward-backward inclination, wherein the upper end of the rod is equipped with a ball bearing, on which a clamp for an applicator is made, made in the form of two halves equipped with a compensating spring and a retainer.

EFFECT: using the given group of inventions enables providing higher quality assurance of radiation therapy and therapeutic effectiveness.
