The Curietron is a remotely controlled afterloading machine for gynaecological low dose rate intracavitary radiotherapy. The Curietron and its installation are described together with specially designed applicators intended to produce a source geometry similar to the Manchester configuration. Some of the practical problems met are discussed. The principal value of the Curietron lies in the marked reduction of radiation exposure to all staff concerned.
居里治疗机是一种用于妇科低剂量率腔内放射治疗的遥控后装设备。本文介绍了居里治疗机及其安装情况,以及为产生类似于曼彻斯特配置的源几何形状而专门设计的施源器。讨论了遇到的一些实际问题。居里治疗机的主要价值在于显著减少了所有相关工作人员所受的辐射剂量。
