Abstract

In order to improve head and neck tumor therapy, face masks were developed. The physical and mechanical properties of 11 apparently suitable materials were tested using a phantom. According to our studies "HEXCELITE" (supplied by Medimex, Hamburg, F.R.G.) proved to be the best material. Plastic breast molds were made to optimize the dose distribution for radiation therapy with fast electrons of post-mastectomy breast tumors. Here too the mechanical and physical properties of nine different materials were tested. The most suitable of these proved to be the gel mat "PRIMAMED" (supplied by Schülke and Mayr, Norderstedt, F.R.G.). The two materials mentioned have been well tolerated by more than 200 patients.

摘要

为了改善头颈部肿瘤的治疗效果，研发了面罩。使用模体对11种明显合适的材料的物理和机械性能进行了测试。根据我们的研究，“HEXCELITE”（由德国汉堡的Medimex公司提供）被证明是最佳材料。制作了塑料乳房模具，以优化乳房切除术后乳腺肿瘤快速电子放射治疗的剂量分布。同样在此对9种不同材料的机械和物理性能进行了测试。其中最合适的是凝胶垫“PRIMAMED”（由德国诺德施泰特的Schülke and Mayr公司提供）。上述两种材料已被200多名患者良好耐受。
