There is a well-documented synergistic cytotoxic effect when heat is combined with ionizing radiation. An integral component of hyperthermia treatments is the placement of thermocouple probes used for thermal dosimetry. With the surge in interest in the clinical use of hyperthermia, our department is performing an increasing number of thermocouple placements under computed tomographic (CT) guidance. We describe our technique for CT-guided thermocouple placement with two different systems: a trocar introduction system and a peel-away needle introduction system. We discuss the rationale for thermocouple placement, our early experience with this technique, and some potential complications.
当热疗与电离辐射联合使用时，会产生有充分文献记载的协同细胞毒性作用。热疗的一个不可或缺的组成部分是放置用于热剂量测定的热电偶探头。随着对热疗临床应用兴趣的激增，我们科室在计算机断层扫描（CT）引导下进行的热电偶放置操作越来越多。我们描述了使用两种不同系统进行CT引导下热电偶放置的技术：一种套管针导入系统和一种可剥离针导入系统。我们讨论了热电偶放置的原理、我们在这项技术上的早期经验以及一些潜在并发症。
