자궁경부암 환자의 방사선 조사시 고려하여야 할 사항 중 한가지는 결정 장기인 방광 및 직장의 부작용이다. 강내 고선량률 근접 치료시 방광과 직장의 흡수선량을 열형광량계 선량측정법을 이용하여 간접적으로 측정하였다 방광 및 직장의 부작용을 줄일 수 있는 방법이 제안되었다. 방사선 치료 후 예후관찰 중인 200명의 자궁경부암 환자의 자기공명 영상에서 자궁경부의 중심축에서 방광 및 직장 그리고 자궁벽의 두께를 측정하였다. 밀봉시킨 열형광량계를 오보이드의 팩킹거즈 위에 놓고 씨물레이션 필름 상에서 오보이드의 중심에서부터의 거리를 측정한 후 실제의 방광과 직장의 흡수선량을 계산하였다. 발표된 연구결과들에서 방광 및 직장의 최대 견딤선량을 계산하였고 고선량률 근접치료 1회당의 허용선량을 토대로 양방향의 팩킹두께를 알아냈다 방광과 직장방향의 최소의 팩킹두께는 각각 0.43 과 0.92 cm 이었다. 이 결과를 마이스버거 다항식을 이용한 계산결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법이 임상에서 고선량률 근접 치료시 방광과 직장 같은 결정장기의 흡수선량을 평가하는 방법으로 사용되기를 바란다.

One consideration of radiation delivery in cervical cancer is the complication of critical organs, e.g., bladder and rectum. The absorbed dose of bladder and rectum in HDR intracavitary brachytherapy is measured indirectly with TLD dosimetry A method for the complication reduction of bladder and rectum is suggested. For two-hundred cervical cancer patients, follow-up MRI images were reviewed and distances from cervical central axis to bladder and rectum and vaginal wall thickness were measured. The sealed TLDs were placed upon the gauze packing of the ovoids and the distances to the TLDs from the ovoid center were measured in the simulation film and actual doses of bladder and rectum were calculated. From published data, maximal tolerance doses of bladder and rectum were derived and based on the permissible doses per fraction in HDR brachytherapy the packing thicknesses were determined in both directions. The required minimal packing thicknesses for bladder and rectum were 0.43 and 0.92 cm, respectively. The results were compared with computer calculation using the Meisberger polynomial approach. It is our hope this study can be used for a guideline for users in clinic in estimating critical organ dose in bladder and rectum in HDR brachytherapy in vivo dosimetry.

가설 설정
In this study the concept of point dose and not the whole organ dose is used in the maximal doses for bladder and rectum. If the doses considered are whole organ doses, the fractional doses for bidder and rectum have to be changed and in turn the minimal packing thicknesses.
제안 방법
In this study, the absorbed dose of blader and rectum in HDR ICBT is calculated with TLD dosimetry. TLD calibration and dose estimation were also explained.
were selected for the study. All patients were treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) followed by HDR brachytherapy. For EBRT, 10 MV X-rays were applied using four field box technique in daily fractions of 1.
All patients were treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) followed by HDR brachytherapy. For EBRT, 10 MV X-rays were applied using four field box technique in daily fractions of 1.8 Gy, 5 times a week for 6 weeks. Total dose was 54 Gy.
7 Gy, could be ignored and Seal, was assumed to unity. To estimate the actual organ doses of the bladder and rectum from the TLD doses, the values of mean vaginal wall thicknesses in both directions and inverse-square behavior were employed.
대상 데이터
From July 1998 to September 1998, 15 patients with cervical carcinoma treated by combination of external irradiation and HDR intracavitary brachytherapy were selected for the study. All patients were treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) followed by HDR brachytherapy.
성능/효과
As the whole series included EBRT and ICBT, after the EBRT of total 54 Gy in bladder and rectum was completed, the fractional dose for tolerable doses in HDR brachytherapy was calculated, as 2.67 and 1.83 Gy for bladder and rectum, respectively. Based on the Figs.
후속연구
It is necessary to rearrange the vaginal gauze in order to increase the distance between the base of bladder and the anterior wall of the rectum and the applicator. This study is hoped to be used for a guideline for users in clinic in estimating critical organ dose in bladder and rectum in vivo HDR brachytherapy.
