Process, control program, treatment planning system and control system, and dose measuring system for brachytherapy

Control program for a remote brachytherapy afterloading device, wherein calculated value(s) is (are) compared with measured value(s) obtained using a process for brachytherapy comprising a dose measuring system, wherein in at least one point of an area subjected to radiation treatment, (i) the individual radiation dose contribution from at least one dwell position of at least one radiation source is measured in real time, (ii) the thus obtained measured dose value is compared with a corresponding value calculated by a treatment planning system, and (iii) a further course of said treatment is adapted on the basis of an degree of agreement between said measured value and said calculated value.

Treatment control system for a remote brachytherapy afterloading device, comprising a control program wherein calculated value(s) is (are) compared with measured value(s) obtained using a process for brachytherapy comprising a dose measuring system, wherein in at least one point of an area subjected to radiation treatment, (i) the individual radiation dose contribution from at least one dwell position of at least one radiation source is measured in real time, (ii) the thus obtained measured dose value is compared with a corresponding value calculated by a treatment planning system, and (iii) a further course of said treatment is adapted on the basis of an degree of agreement between said measured value and said calculated value.

Treatment planning system for a remote brachytherapy afterloading device, arranged for carrying out a process wherein calculated value(s) is (are) individually stored and transferred to a treatment control program, and is (are) compared step by step with measured dose value(s).

Dose measuring system, wherein individual measuring times for (an) individual predetermined point(s) in an area treated by brachytherapy are controlled by a control program wherein calculated value(s) is (are) compared with measured value(s) obtained using a process for brachytherapy comprising a dose measuring system, wherein in at least one point of an area subjected to radiation treatment, (i) the individual radiation dose contribution from at least one dwell position of at least one radiation source is measured in real time, (ii) the thus obtained measured dose value is compared with a corresponding value calculated by a treatment planning system, and (iii) a further course of said treatment is adapted on the basis of an degree of agreement between said measured value and said calculated value, which individual measuring times are equal with dwell position times (T1-Tn) of at least one radiation source.
